Message Takeaways - Sanctity of Life

Sanctity of Life
Genesis 1:26–28; Genesis 2:7; Exodus 20:13; Psalm 139:13–16; John 3:15–19

This message teaches the biblical principle behind the sanctity of life. Humanity is uniquely created in the image of God, given dominion, moral responsibility, and eternal value. Because God Himself breathed life into mankind and later shed His own innocent blood for our salvation, human life is sacred from conception to natural death. Understanding this principle allows believers to stand firm in truth, even when culture attempts to redefine or diminish the value of life.

Takeaways

• Human life is sacred because mankind alone bears the image of God.
• God sets the moral standard for life, not culture or circumstance.
• Christ’s sacrifice reveals the immense value God places on human life.
• Conviction leads to repentance and hope, not condemnation
