All human life is sacred and created by God and therefore, we must see all human life as significant and valuable. When governments implement the death penalty, then the life of the convicted person is devalued and all possibility of change in that person’s life ends.
All Christians can seek to create a way of life deliberately designed to overcome evil with good and to promote justice for all.
