Since January is Sanctity of Human Life Month, I thought
it would be nice to spend some days talking about it. I mean for all of the
talk we hear as Christians as to the heinousness of abortion, euthanasia and
the like, we seldom consider what the Biblical ramifications of these things
are, save to say that “God values all life” or “We are made in the image of God”
or “All life comes from God, therefore all life matters.”
But what I want to suggest to you today is that when we
look at our world, God does care about each and every life…not just one part,
or one skin color, or one ethnic group, or one profession. He cares about all
of it, and I hope that you will continue to read to see what I mean.
The Scriptures say that we are all made in the image of
God because we all descend from Adam, the first man. We are, therefore, given
the image of Adam, the nature of Adam and a body in like kind as Adam. Each and
every one of us have been created in the image of our God, and as such, there
is intrinsic value to each one of us.
But not only the image we bear gives us value, but the
love that God has for us gives us value as well, and we’ll talk more about that
tomorrow.
For now, be blessed, and we’ll see you on Sunday!
