Sanctity of Life

God loves giving and creating life. He took the dark and shapeless earth He created on the first day and showered it in light. He planted seeds in the ground and gave them everything they needed to blossom and grow. He carved out oceans and filled them with creatures of all shapes, sizes, and functions. He covered the globe with animals, plants, birds, and insects. While our planetary neighbors are haunted, desolate worlds hostile to life, our world is teeming with it. God declared this abundance of life “good” and commanded His creatures to “be fruitful and multiply” for His glory (Genesis 1:22), but His creative work had yet to reach its crescendo.
