National Sanctity of Human Life Day

National Sanctity of Human Life Day is January 22.

The concept of “sanctity” means consecration and set apart purposefully. The sanctity of human life is rooted in belief that emphasize the inherent value, dignity, and sacredness of human life which asserts that human life is sacred and should be respected, protected, and preserved.

We see God’s heart for this in the scriptures too: “Then the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.” (Jeremiah 1:4-5)

“For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them.” (Psalm 139:13-16)

At Calvary, we are deeply rooted in the understanding that everyone is created in the image of God (Imago Dei) and every life begins at conception and is divinely sanctified by God for His mission (Missio Dei).
