Today, on Kids Bible Minute we continue our series on what it means to be a Defender of the Faith. In this study we are going to focus on a subject that didn’t used to be controversial in the church, but over the years has become so. What am I talking about, what are we going to study today, the topic of abortion.
For a short form study such as this podcast is intended we obviously cannot go into an extremely deep dive into God’s word on the subject or look at all the medical information that demonstrates how truly horrific this practice is. Instead we are going to focus on two main points that show God’s will on the subject. The first point deals with God’s view on the sanctity of life.
God has consistently been clear that the shedding of innocent blood is an abomination to him, it is something that he hates.
6 Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed, for God made man in his own image.
Here we clearly see that if a person “murders” another person then that person that committed the murder and took the life of someone in God’s image, forfeits his right to life.
Because we are all made in the image of God (Genesis 9:6) and because God is the one that gives each of us our life (Job 33:4), this is why God hates the one that sheds innocent blood.
16 These six things the Lord hates, Yes, seven are an abomination to Him: 17 A proud look, A lying tongue, Hands that shed innocent blood
Having seen this, then the next point we must establish is whether or not an unborn baby is actually a human being. Now, the science is clear on this issue, and though we don’t have time to look at all that here, I do encourage you to do that research on your own. However, the bible is also clear on this issue that the moment a person is conceived, they are human, because God has given them life.
Remember God is the one that gives every child life.
4 The Spirit of God has made me, And the breath of the Almighty gives me life.
God is actually fully involved in the our lives from the time we are conceived.
13 For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb. 14 I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well. 15 My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. 16 Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, The days fashioned for me, When as yet there were none of them.
God told Jeremiah that he knew him before “he was even conceived.”
5 Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.
Even God’s word demonstrates that God considers unborn children the same as born children.
The same Hebrew word for a child born is the same for an unborn child.
38 And the younger, she also bore a son and called his name Ben-Ammi; he is the father of the people of Ammon to this day.
21 Now Isaac pleaded with the Lord for his wife, because she was barren; and the Lord granted his plea, and Rebekah his wife conceived. 22 But the children struggled together within her; and she said, “If all is well, why am I like this?” So she went to inquire of the Lord.
We see the same thing in the Greek New Testament as well.
41 And it happened, when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, that the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.
12 And this will be the sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger.
The fact of the matter is, when conception takes place, God gives that which is conceived life, and if someone takes the life of that child, whom God has known before conception, they are shedding innocent blood.
Remember what God said through inspiration in Proverbs 6:17, God hates the person that sheds innocent blood.
What a fearful thing it would be to be hated by our Creator, but thankfully even if someone has aborted their child, or supported such, they can repent, come to God, obey his word, and be forgiven.
This is far better on the judgment day for sue.
