3. The Image of God and Human Life

Cornerstone West Los Angeles » Sermons

Our world views human life as either as the ultimate good (needing to be preserved at all costs) or as an instrumental good (only worth living if it maintains a certain "quality"). But God teaches us that, as image bearers of him, every human life is uniquely sacred and destined for eternity.

Application Questions:

1. How do you see the world's understanding as human life being either the ultimate good, or an instrumental good shaping your own understanding of life?

2. How might you view others differently if you consistently remembered that all human life is sacred?

3. What are some ways you are tempted to devalue human life either in yourself or others?

4. How does the gospel bring grace and freedom to the ways you have fallen short in the past?
