Memorable Quotes
-
“"All men bear the image of God. They have value, not because they are redeemed, but because they are God's creation in God's image. Modern man, who has rejected this, has no clue as to who he is, and because of this he can find no real value for himself or for other men. Hence, he downgrades the value of other men and produces the horrible thing we face today - a sick culture in which men treat men as inhuman, as machines. As Christians, however, we know the value of men. All men are our neighbors, and we are to love them as ourselves. We are to do this on the basis of creation, even if they are not redeemed, for all men have value because they are made in the image of God. Therefore they are to be loved even at great cost. This is, of course, the whole point of Jesus' story of the good Samaritan: Because a man is a man, he is to be loved at all cost."”
First Sentence
Through the centuries men have displayed many different symbols to show that they are Christians.
