Today is Monday, September 10th, 2018, and here is your daily devote. When you think about it, we live in a world seeking to define and redefine humanity. The world often defines humanity based upon the perceived problems we face. Some will say that the problem is with unequal opportunity, so equal rights in the workplace or access to good education is the solution.
Others will say it is because of class distinction, so a society that is classless and shares in everything is the answer. The positive result of this is that we can be more attuned and responsive to the humanitarian crises and injustices all around us, such as racism, male chauvinism, police brutality, slavery and sex trafficking. But the flip side is that these issues don't get to the heart of the question of what it means to be human. Much less do they address the real problem within.
Sin, the unique status of man being created in God's image, gets to the heart of many debates within our culture regarding human life, such as abortion, euthanasia and so forth. Since humanity was created in God's image and is unique among the rest of creation, this truth should significantly influence the way we approach those topics. Think about this. In what ways do you see the world attempting to redefine what it means to be human?
Why is it important to note that humanity has a special place among creation because we were created in God's image? Thanks for listening to the Daily Depot.
