The word “honor” means “to show high regard for honor, revere.


We honor all people because they are created in the image of God.
Dignity can refer to one’s character or accomplishments. The word
dignified refers to a pattern of moral behavior that warrants praise
from others. We need to develop strength and dignity as attractive
qualities of our character – words of wisdom, the teaching of
kindness.
This image of God in humanity was broken or defaced because of sin.
But God, in His great love and mercy has restored this broken image
through the death of Jesus on the Cross. Jesus died for this image to
be restored with dignity and honor so that all humanity will do the
same to their fellowmen. Because the way we treat others who are
created in the image of God is the same way we treat God as creator.
