The sonnet presents a Biblical view of gender—male and female—as a fixed, divinely ordained reality, in that Biblical Christ-given scriptural perspective, spanning childhood (boys and girls) to adulthood (men and women), enduring despite cultural pressures. It begins by describing two distinct forms created with unique traits: boys with strength, girls with grace, men with might, and women with charm. This distinction, set by God’s will, remains constant across a lifetime and resists human attempts to redefine it. The poem acknowledges modern challenges that “seek to reshape” these lines, yet emphasizes that God’s truth, rooted in creation, prevails. The final couplet urges believers to stand firm against cultural shifts, affirming that Christ, as Creator, established gender as male and female according to His design.

Biblical References:

1. Genesis 1:27 – “So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.” This underpins the Biblical Christ-given scriptural perspective of gender as a binary, intentional design.
2. John 1:3 – “All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.” This supports the reference to “Christ, Creator,” highlighting His role in shaping gender within that scriptural perspective.
3. Psalm 119:89 – “Forever, O Lord, Your word is settled in heaven.” This reinforces the sonnet’s theme that gender, in that Biblical Christ-given scriptural perspective, endures, unchanging over time or culture.

The sonnet thus reflects a Biblical view of gender as a sacred, unalterable gift from Christ, encouraging steadfastness in that Biblical Christ-given scriptural perspective.

Upon the earth, two forms in truth were cast,
The boy with strength, the girl with grace divine,
Through years they grow, yet still the die is cast,
A man with might, a woman’s charm to shine.
The Maker’s will, from youth to age decreed,
Bestows a name no mortal dare unwind,
Boys are not girls, nor men and women trade,
Their essence fixed, their purpose intertwined.
Yet voices clamor, seeking to reshape,
To blur the lines that heaven’s light has drawn,
But truth stands firm, from cradle past the drape,
God’s children stay as they were ever born.
Stand firm, uphold His truth o’er culture’s sway,
Christ, Creator, framed them—male, female—His way.
