The Bible makes is clear that murder is wrong and that conception is the beginning of life. Conception occurs the moment the egg is fertilized.
Read Genesis 38. I won’t recite to you all the details of this facinating story, but suffice to say that Judah slept with his daughter-in-law Tamar. Note verses 18 and 19:
Genesis 38:18-19 (KJV)
18 … and came in unto her (as in sperm), and she conceived by him.
19 And she arose, and went away, and laid by her vail from her, and put on the garments of her widowhood.
See the order in which this happened?
1) He came into her
2) She conceived
3) She arose and went away
So we see a child is conceived instantly. Before she got up and went away she had conceived.
The Bible put emphasis on conception. In Luke 1:31 the angel says to Mary, “And behold, thou shall conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shall call His name Jesus.”
Now consider this. The Bible makes it clear that we are made in the image of God and that all people are born with a plan that God has for them.
This doesn’t change just because someone is born with Down’s syndrome.
We are are made to bring our Heavenly Father glory and He delights in us no matter what we look like or what is wrong with us physically.
1 Cor 2:9 – “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”
Psalm 139:13 – “For you (Lord) did form my inward parts; You (Lord) did knit me together in my mother’s womb.
Jer 29:11 – “For I know the thoughts I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a hope and a future.”
A hope! A future!
This scripture shows that God’s plan for us doesn’t include abortion.
Abortion is without hope! Without future!
To those who are thinking about having abortion – Please consider that God has a plan for you and your baby. No matter what your situation or circumstances, there is a way. Someone is waiting to help you and show you the love of Jesus. You can receive help through the whole process of pregnancy, birth and what comes afterward.
There are programs in your area that can help you have and raise children or even help you put them up for adoption. When there is a will, there is a way!
I urge you – Give your baby life!
To those who have had abortion - I’ve had the chance to talk with many women who have had abortions and ALL of them have dealt with deep emotional wounds.
God created us to make life, not take it. Something deep inside every woman who has aborted her child knows this.
You are probably expecting me to beat you down with words like “sinner” and “murderer”.
That assumption is wrong. Instead I bring good news!
I write this to let you know there is hope of restoration! Forgiveness, peace, love and life can be restored to you!
Even Jesus didn’t come to condemn you – but that through Him you could be saved and have abundant life.
Peace beyond measure!
If you have not accepted Jesus Christ as your Savior, seek Him day and night until He reveals Himself to you.
Don’t delay!
If you don’t know how, find a local bible-believing Christian church and talk to the pastor. Or a Christian friend. If you have no one, send me an email and I’ll help you any way I can. In Jesus Christ, you will find forgiveness, restoration and freedom. May God bless you. Email me at cudweeds@gmail.com
