Nothing *less*--true. But that is NOT what imparts value to human life. Christ shed His blood for us *because* we are made in His image. Being made in His image is what imparts value to human life. Being made in His image is so much greater than anything else, it's difficult to imagine.
‘Christ shed His blood for us *because* we are made in His image.’
what about those who preceded Christ; in whose image were they formed...?
