Christ, the Imago Dei (the Image of God),
is the restoration of the creation image, in
whom all men and women find their identity
by faith.
The search for wholeness and
heterosexuality within ourselves thus comes
to an end. Men and women receive Christ as
their image of God, in whom is their
wholeness and heterosexuality. As a trained
faith grasps this awareness, there is a
breaking of the power of the homosexual
inclination so that freedom from the
homosexual drive and activity is a real
possibility.
Although deliverance from homosexual
activity is the call of God, the healing of
the homosexual inclination will vary
according to growth and is a result of our
faith identity with Christ, rather than as a
way to it. Nevertheless, HA holds that the
homosexual inclination may be healed and
that all who desire it may realize their
inborn, though fallen, heterosexuality, thus
opening the way to heterosexual marriage and
family.
