Human commoditization is a lie

Posted on by asherdc89

Humanity was created in God’s image. Created out of love to have intrinsic worth, freedom and happiness. Life is sacred, significant and purposeful. Man’s value is determined by God’s love. It’s determined by His love through creation and redemption simultaneously. Life then has an infinite value.

Human commodification denies these factors for pure materialism. Life is estimated relative to an economic value. Making life itself limited and subjected to finance.

Love, purpose, happiness and value is then superficially seen as something that can be bought. And not seen as something deeply meaningful, which can’t be bought and freely given. But idealistically in terms of not considering their meanings. 

Therefore, everything is seen as a financial transaction of economic exchange. To selfishly use and serve each other for our wants, needs and gratifications.

Since 2010, I've experienced promptings, encouragement as well as assistance from the Holy Spirit. The promptings led me to the word of God. This was the start of my own personal journey as I sought after the truth. God was then calling me as I sought after the truth according to His word. The truth was leading me to the decision to give my life to Him. I gave my life to God on the 28th of January 2012. Instantly, I had the desire to share with others the truth of God, that God is a God of love, truth, righteousness, holiness, mercy and justice. I couldn't keep something like this to myself in a lost and dying world, a world in a fallen state, and a world steeped in confusion concerning the view of who God is. My journey wasn't without struggle though, I realised through suffering we come to know God. To not only be humble, but to be empathic and not detached from people who are suffering. Sometime in 2012, God inspired me to become a writer just after my prayer to fulfill my purpose, the purpose of the reason of my existence. My prayer was a reflection of Isaiah 43:1-7. So I started writing essays pertaining to His word. I shared what I wrote with my family and friends. Therefore, the aspiration to help people globally, came with the realisation to give God the honour and the glory. To be part of making a difference. The inspiration to start blogging was impressed upon me to do. Through prayerful guidence, I believe God has led me to this point, which I believe is for His glory.
