Message Title: Every Life Is Precious 

Hello My Friend, 

Life, it's a precious thing, and no matter what the circumstance, every life created by God is precious, and should never be regarded as something wicked, evil, of misfortune, or mistaken. Every child conceived has a place in this world, it is a gift from God, and could be used to bring God's glory out of any situation, but sadly many lives are ended before they even begin. Until we learn that God made each and every one if us for a special reason, and see our own lives as something precious, we are not going to see how precious every life is. “For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb. I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.” - Psalm 139”13-16.

First, in order to see how precious life is, we must think outside the box, in other words, have respect for every life, including our own. We know that all people began with two people, Adam and Eve, to see it in our own eyes we would think of this as something disgusting and incestuous, but in God's eyes, it'sprecious, His creation. In the beginning, they were not thought of as brothers and sisters, God merely used a man and a woman to create another soul. While Adam and Eve had many children, only a few are mentioned, beginning with Cain and Abel. Cain was a farmer, he harvested crops, while Able was a cattle rancher, and took care of the cattle and sheep. “And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD. And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering: But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell. And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen? If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him. And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him” - Genesis 4:3-8.

Why God chooses who He decides to create a life through and where He places us is a mystery, but every life is precious, and those who disregard life, even their own will have God to answer to. God did not end Cains life, instead, He chose to make him suffer by sustaining it, cursing him to be a fugitive and wanderer for the rest of his life, because everyone wanted to kill him. The reason why God did not respect his offering in the first place was because He had no regard for the life he had been given, his offering had to have been pretty awful for God to refuse it. All he had to do was repent and God would have forgiven him, but he chose to take the life of the one that was living for God rather than do what was right. The truth is, many want the blessings from God that comes from living for Him, but few are willing to do what is necessary to get His respect. Those who choose to live for God, regardless of what life they were given will receive the greatest respect from God. “The merciful man doeth good to his own soul: but he that is cruel troubleth his own flesh. The wicked worketh a deceitful work: but to him that soweth righteousness shall be a sure reward. As righteousness tendeth to life: so he that pursueth evil pursueth it to his own death. They that are of a froward heart are abomination to the LORD: but such as are upright in their way are his delight.” - Proverbs 11:17-20.

Cain began the genealogy of what was known as the sons of man. The genealogy of Adam, however,continued through Adam and Eve's third known son, Seth, known as the sons of God. “This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him; Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created. And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth: And Lamech lived an hundred eighty and two years, and begat a son: And he called his name Noah, saying, This same shall comfort us concerning our work and toil of our hands, because of the ground which the LORD hath cursed. And Noah was five hundred years old: and Noah begat Shem, Ham, and Japheth.” - Genesis 5:1-3,28-32.

Seth became the seed that would extend life on earth, his descendants went all the way down to Noah, and it would be through Noah's seed that the lineage of the seed where Jesus would come in the flesh would come from. Life is so precious to God, that He will sustain life through one soul, while He desires every soul to love Him as He loves them, many will disregard Him, but as long as He has one willing soul to love Him, He will sustain life. “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.” - John 3:16-19.

While all life is precious, God will only give it a short amount of time to acknowledge that before He takes that life. The more people that disregard Him, the more His wrath kindles, and before you know it, judgment comes, not only to one life, but all. When the sons of God began having children with the sons of man, very few regarded their lives, in fact, they were down right disgusting in the eyes of God. There was so much wickedness and immorality in the world that He repented for having made life on earth. He was so disappointed and angry that He chose to destroy the entire earth. However, He did find one man, Noah, who was not like the rest, and He chose that soul, along with his three sons and their wives to sustain life. 

“There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them. But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD. And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.” - Genesis 6:4-8,13.

God repents too, meaning to feel deep regret for something you have done, God regretted that He even created man and wanted to destroy them all. As wicked and immoral as the world is today, I can only imagine how bad it had to be that God wanted to destroy the entire earth. Let me tell you, God's wrath is kindling once again, and He will destroy every soul that does not have His grace. What is God's grace? Jesus Christ. Our naturally born sin nature cannot sustain life, in fact, if brings death, and no matter how much we try to ignore or bury sin, it will always destroy us until we acknowledge it, deal with it, and repent of it. Jesus is the only one, who can sustain a soul, and keep it from the greatest punishment given to every soul, death and hell. “As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:” - Romans 3:10-12,23,24.

Today's Prayer: God, Thank You for giving me life, and for the life that You have given me. While I do not always understand the trials and obstacles that You place before me as I walk the path You have chosen for me, I do understand that I am fearfully and wonderfully made, and that I am Your precious child. I do want to live my life to please You, I want to value my life by living it guiding by Your Word, and walking side by side with Your Son. Lord, give me Your power to love life, no matter where You place me, and give me the strength to sustain life by being a witness and testimony of how living a moral and just life leads to Your Son. In the prescious name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.

God Bless You, I am praying for you,
Christina
