a. Scripture Advocating for the Value of Human Life
The scriptures show how much God values human life:
– Genesis 1 and 2: These chapters tell us that God created humans in His own image, making us special and valuable.
– Jeremiah 1: Jeremiah’s story shows that God knows and plans for us before we are even born, highlighting our value and purpose.

These scriptures point to Jesus, who came to restore our lives and give us new purpose.

The value of human life means that every person is precious and deserves to be treated with respect, care, and kindness. This is because we are made in God’s image and have inherent worth.
