Stephen Nichols: The Dignity of God’s Image Bearers

Summary

The sermon explores the crisis of human identity and dignity, drawing upon the theological perspective that the answer lies in recognizing ourselves as God's image-bearers. Referencing Calvin's emphasis on knowing God and ourselves, and critiquing secular philosophies like Sartre's "useless passions" and the Nazi regime's "useless eaters," the conclusion is that a true understanding of human worth can only be found theologically, preventing harm to ourselves and others.
