The Bible is FOR Creation. God is for His image-bearers. The Gospel is FOR LIFE! A look at God’s Word will quickly reveal that our precious LORD clearly conveys that our lives matter…we matter to God, we matter to one another. In this culture of death, we are called and equipped to be a people of LIFE! REFLECTION: Psalm 24:1 SERMON TEXT: Genesis 1:26-31 1. GOD UNIQUELY US! Mankind is a good creation. (Genesis 1:31) We are unique on a theological level. (Jeremiah 1:5) We are unique on a biological level. See Genesis 25:23, Judges 13:5; Luke 1 Note: Psalm 139:13-16 Mankind is in God's image. (Genesis 1:26) 2. GOD UNIQUELY US! Mankind has purpose. (Genesis 1:26, 28) 3. GOD HAS UNIQUE FOR US! Mankind is created to ENJOY God and His creation. (Genesis 1:29; 2:15) Mankind is created to GLORIFY God! (Genesis 1:26-28) LIFE MATTERS TO GOD! YOUR LIFE MATTERS TO GOD! Psalm 8:3-6 John 3:16 Our pro-life conviction compels us to share this good news, the Gospel with our neighbors and the nations, too…to be fruitful and multiply…to cover the whole earth with His Glory!
