ABORTION 

For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers {Colossian 1:16} and for he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight {Ephesians 1:4}

Have you ever heard people say, “There is nothing like abortion in the Bible”, or “Where in the Bible does it say that abortion is against God’s teaching?”

This is what the Lord says: “For three sins of Ammon, even for four, I will not turn back {my wrath}. Because he ripped open the pregnant women of Gilead to extend his borders {Amos 1:13}  Because the Ammonites were brutal and unsparing in their quest to enlarge their territory, even ripping open pregnant women with the sword, women who were completely defenseless against the invaders, God would not turn back his wrath against them.  

How much great is God’s wrath against those who are not helpless, who have a choice and deliberately kill the unborn to satisfy their ants.  It doesn’t matter how a baby’s life is taken away, whether, through a backyard abortion or a surgical procedure performed in a hospital, God still sees it as destroying the life he knew from before the creation of the world.

In the above statement let us see it herein {Jeremiah 1:5} “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” For we, we go on and commit abortion but little did we know that we are aborting prophets like prophet Jeremiah, Prophet Isaiah, etc. “Each time you commit abortion you’re stopping Gods plan souls are created special and different purposes”

Have you been caught in the cage?

As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign Lord, I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that they turn from their ways and live {Ezekiel 33:11} because God is love {1 John 4:16}

God does not stay angry forever but delight(s) to show mercy see herein {Micah 7:18} who is a God like You, Pardoning iniquity And passing over the transgression of the remnant of His heritage? He does not retain His anger forever, Because He delights in mercy.

For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting {Psalm 100:5} The Lord is full of compassion and mercy {James 5:11} The Lord is good to all; he has compassion on all he has made. (Psalm 145:9) As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts {Isaiah 55:9}

Nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord {Romans 8:39} He loves everyone alike; he does not show favoritism {Romans 2:11} He loves those who are born as a result of rape or incest; with a deformity or disease; of under-age mothers; into poverty, who are unloved or unwanted.  He loves the mothers who choose life over their baby because their own life is threatened by giving birth. 

He loves the poor who are unable to feed another mouth.  He loves those who choose to abort their babies and those who are forced to do so.  He also loves all those associated with abortions – the health profession, pro-abortion activists and supporters, legislators, and others.  I (Jesus) have come that they may have life, and have it to the full {John 10:10} The Lord loves all of us with an everlasting love{Jeremiah 31:3}, a love that can never be taken away.

He created us because he loves us and wants us to be with him now and for all eternity.  God created mankind in his own image {Genesis 1:27}, with free will, not as robots automated to serve him, or as some sort of object to amuse himself with.  He created us to dwell and live in his presence and to share all the good things he has in store.  

As God is all about life and a relationship with him, now and eternally, abortion works against his plans.  Who are we to oppose the plans of Almighty God by destroying the very life that he planned from the beginning?  Who knows the Lord’s plans for every life? Why you do not even know what will happen tomorrow {James 4:14} isn’t he the God who performs miracles? {Psalm 77:14} 

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son (Jesus), that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life {John 3:16} He is so rich in kindness and grace that he purchased our freedom with the blood of his Son and forgave our sins {Ephesians 1:6-7}He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance {2 Peter 3:9}. 

Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved {Romans 10:13} Seek the Lord while he may be found; call on him while he is near {Isaiah 55:6} Choose life, so that you and your children may live and that you may love the Lord your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him. For the Lord is your life, and he will give you many years?{Deuteronomy 30:19-20}
