Why Isn't It Worth It Right Now?

All human beings are created in the image of God and deserve by that right. Apart from Christ, the Bible teaches us the only way that we can fill this void that Paul calls deadness. It's not just an existential reality, it's what you would call an ontological reality. This also doesn't mean that people don't have dignity. Of course, people have dignity. You don't own them. God owns them. And so the way that we respect other human beings, they deserve our respect and honor and dignity, no matter what they believe.
