#3: Human Dignity

Each human being is made by God, in his likeness; each person is unique and has dignity and honor that is to be recognized and respected.

Who are the people your culture sees as inferior? Another tribe?Another race?Females? People who are disabled? Make a list!

How are these people treated by society?

God is the rightful owner of all He has made. He knows his creation intimately, and every part is important to Him. He created everything for a distinct purpose.

Every human being is made by God. God has given every person dignity and honor. Because of this, all people are equal before God, and equally accountable to God. Every human being—regardless of race, religion, age, skin-color, sex, social status, poverty or wealth—is important to God and of immeasurable worth.

God has given human beings a unique set of abilities, including the capacity to speak, to reason, to choose, and to love. He has given these so that mankind can rule over creation and cause it to flourish. Because God is the ultimate owner of all he created, humankind is accountable to Him for the wise stewardship of his creation.
