a) Genesis 1 and 2 Human life is created by God and is good. Since we are uniquely created in the image of God and formed by God we hold the sanctity of all human life.
Jeremiah 1vs2The promise of Gods purpose allows us to let go of our own plans and to receive Gods plan without fear. Like Jeremiah and Jesus, we need to accept that our future is not our own. We are God’s. He has a distinct plan and purpose for our lives.
Psalms 139 from before birth, God had a plan for our lives and has been actively drawing us to himself.
Galatians 3:26-29 God never intended the law to be the final solution for the problem of sin.
b) The word sanctity means sacredness. It means that human life, we believe is set apart, is unique and sacred and special by God. We having been created in the image of God, we are in his likeness, and therefore we are precious to him.
c) For ministries and communities to show the value of every human life regardless of age, gender, disability, culture or any other factor that causes us to marginalize and take value from others they should never use other people for selfish gain, help those who are trapped by sin, help others find their God given purpose and also see every person as a precious creation made in God’s image.
d) Each life is truly a gift from God. I can honor His gift by cherishing our own lives as well as respecting and valuing the lives of others. We are precious in His sight, and by trusting Him are being diligent in our choices, we can share light and truth with the world around us.Some Christians believe that money and wealth is a form of evil and corruption. I believe to the contrary that money and wealth can very easily corrupt you, but it is not evil. Money and wealthy can cause us to be arrogant. Wealthy people are easily deceived into thinking that they created their wealth on their own. This in turn leads to an attitude of arrogance and superiority. Some people are being deceived into believing that it provides real security in their lives. Some believe that they are powerful, and you now have all what you need. This causes people not to be able to see your need for God. Therefore, wealth creates the belief that you are sufficient and have no need for God.
