YOU ARE WORTH DYING FOR
By Rev. Michael Benson Ajayi
Ps 8:5-8 “ Yet you made them only a little lower than God and crowned them with glory and honor. You gave them charge of everything you made, putting all things under their authority— the flocks and the herds and all the wild animals, the birds in the sky, the fish in the sea, and everything that swims the ocean currents.”
Heb 2:7-10 AMP “ For some little time You have ranked him lower than and inferior to the angels; You have crowned him with glory and honor and set him over the works of Your hands, [Ps 8:4-6.] For You have put everything in subjection under his feet. Now in putting everything in subjection to man, He left nothing outside [of man's] control. But at present we do not yet see all things subjected to him [man]. But we are able to see Jesus, Who was ranked lower than the angels for a little while, crowned with glory and honor because of His having suffered death, in order that by the grace (unmerited favor) of God [to us sinners] He might experience death for every individual person. For it was an act worthy [of God] and fitting [to the divine nature] that He, for Whose sake and by Whom all things have their existence, in bringing many sons into glory,…”
After the fall of man in the garden of Eden ,mankind became lower than the angels in spiritual status. Angels were not made in the image of God but man is. The original plan for the creation of mankind was for God to have a family , persons in the same class of intelligence to interact with ,so He cloned himself in Adam also Eve the first female was cloned from Adam .We have the God gene in us ,superior to angels , but when man rebelled against God we were placed in the class of animals . It is for this reason animists depend so much on animals for guidance through sacrifice of animals they are able to experience the essence of animals and survive using animal instincts . Sin reduces a person to a mere animal . God demonstrated this by covering Adam with animal skin after falling short of God’s glory through sin. A visit to a market where voodoo items are sold, the majority fall into the animal kingdom. That shows how dependent man became on animals for spiritual guidance after the fall in Eden.
Hebrew 2:7-10 says through Jesus Christ our low animal status has been changed to that of His glorious state. For a brief moment He took our place on the cross and gave us His title and after resurrection, we now share in His glory just as a president’s wife shares in his glory as a member of the first family. He did this because of the value God attaches to human beings . We are made in His image and given authority to dominate the universe. Human life is the most valuable item in the universe ,if you were the only person on earth Jesus would have still died for you because you are worth dying for , that’s why there is great rejoicing in heaven whenever a soul repents. It is an abomination to term any human being as inferior. God loves us equally and likens man to a precious jewel :He abhors the destruction of human life - born and unborn
Gen 9:5-7 says "And I will require the blood of anyone who takes another person's life. If a wild animal kills a person, it must die. And anyone who murders a fellow human must die. If anyone takes a human life, that person's life will also be taken by human hands. For God made human beings in his own image.” This Law predates that of Moses and is as valid as the covenant God made with Abraham. This law is enforce by the various security agencies the world over. The unreasonable destruction of human life (born and unborn) comes with dangerous consequences and a reason behind many deaths . It is not the unforgivable sin , therefore , if a person has unjustly shed human blood directly or indirectly, he or she should sincerely ask God for forgiveness and make a commitment to promote love . The believer in Christ should be driven by the same love God has for humanity and always seeks for peace to avert any loss of lives Matt 5:9 TLB . “Happy are those who strive for peace-they shall be called the sons of God.”
Prayer : Heavenly Father ,forgive me for I have sinned against you , I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised for my salvation , I receive Him as Lord and savior and receive grace to promote peace in Jesus name.
