In the pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly’s newest commercial, one of the most heartbreaking and confusing parts of the ad is this statement:
"Because the body you are randomly assigned at birth shouldn't determine how well you are cared for."
This voice-over is heard while showing a woman with double mastectomy scars wearing an open robe and identifying as a man.
In using the term “randomly assigned” Lilly is inadvertently, foolishly, or rebelliously conceding that we have a Creator, or at least an Assigner. But at the same time they are encouraging rejection of the Assigner’s body choice. This is not atheism. It is outright rebellion against God.
The truth is we are lovingly and purposefully created in the image of our loving and purposeful Creator and given a full, loving, and purposeful life in Him…
“Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it” (Ps 139:14).
“For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago” (Eph 2:10).
“For I know the plans I have for you,” says the LORD. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope” (Jer 29:11).
Seek and believe the truth. It will help you recognize and set you free from the foolish, incoherent, and outright rebellion of this fallen world.
