4 But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat. 5 And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man's brother will I require the life of man. 6 Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man (Genesis 9:4-6).
God desires Man to value life. It is God that gives life and it is for God to take life. So Man is to cherish life and protect life especially the life of fellow man. God reminds us in these verses that we were created in the image of God. As the image bearer, we are to be representatives of God in this world. There is no higher calling.
