Sacred Life

God’s Plan for Us

A Study of the Sanctity of Life

Genesis 1 teaches that God created humanity in His image. That God created man in His image has been universally accepted by Christians for centuries, but vary rarely do we pause and ask the follow-up question, what does that actually mean? This 13-week study dives deep into the heart of one of the most profound biblical truths – that all life is sacred and meaningful. Beyond the traditional conversations of sanctity of human life, the study begins with exploring how Christianity at its core is a faith that cherishes life in all its facets. Throughout this journey, we will explore the rich tapestry of spiritual, moral, and ethical implications that arise from this foundational belief. With a biblical lens, it will consider a host of cultural issues such as care for the preborn, families, creation, the vulnerable, disability, and dignity, while also considering God’s ultimate plan for humanity and our future with God in heaven. The study will conclude pointing back to Christ as the fullness of God in bodily form. Sacred Life is designed to explore the Biblical significance of human flourishing and God’s Plan for Us .
