Valueless Thing
"And I heard the angel of the waters saying: “You are righteous, O Lord, The One who is and who was and who is to be, Because You have judged these things." (Revelation 16:5 NKJV) The scripture testifies that God was proud of the work of His hands after the creation of man. Being created in the image of God, there is no doubt about the high stake of the righteous expectation from man. Even after the fall of man, love moved God to sacrifice His only begotten Son for redemption of man from sin. Therefore, it would be painful to imagine the sorrow in the heart of God turned Judge to judge men turned 'these things'. Obviously, sin diminishes man from a valued image of God to a valueless thing.
