Sanctity Of Life Sunday

Genesis 1:26-27

#1 EACH HUMAN LIFE CREATED IN GOD’S IMAGE WITH DIGNITY

Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” So God created mankind in His own image, in the image of God He created them; male and female He created them. Genesis 1:26-27 (NIV)

#2 ACCOUNTABLE TO VALUE HUMAN LIFE

“Whoever sheds human blood, by humans shall their blood be shed; for in the image of God has God made mankind. Genesis 9:6 (NIV)

#3 RESTORED BY CHRIST TO OUR IMAGE BEARING PURPOSE

The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven. Hebrews 1:3 (NIV)

# 4 EXPRESSING A COMMITMENT TO HUMAN DIGNITY

With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse human beings, who have been made in God’s likeness. Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers and sisters, this should not be. James 3:9-10 (NIV)
