FAMILY THEME: WHY IS EVERY LIFE VALUABLE?

Genesis 1:26-27  ;  2:7  ;  9:5-6  ;  Jeremiah 1:5  ;  

Psalm 139:13-16

People are important to God. God thought so much of man that He

made him in His own image. The worth of man cannot be measured

for he is made in the image of the immeasurable God. God's estima-

tion of mankind gives us our true value.

1.  Every Human Being is an Image Bearer of the Creator

     (Genesis 1:26-27  ;  2:7)

     God could have created us any way He wanted. He 

     chose to create us to bear His image.

 
2.  Every Image Bearer of the Creator Has Purpose

     (Jeremiah 1:4-5)

     The only people who will achieve lasting success

     are those who fulfill God's purpose.

     

3.  Every Image Bearer of the Creator Has Great Value and Dignity

     (Genesis 9:5-6  ;  Psalm 139:13-16)

     God is the giver of life and wants every life to be

     protected from harm.
