ALL HUMAN LIVES MATTER

And we have come to know and have believed the love which God has in us.  1 John 4:16a

 As we approach the infamous 53rd anniversary of Roe versus Wade’s Supreme Court decision to legalize abortion, here are some things to think about from God’s Word.

All of us were created in God’s image and likeness (Genesis 1:26).  We did not evolve from apes or any other creature.  The first man Adam was formed by God (Genesis 2:7) on the very same day He created living creatures (1:24-26).  After finishing His creative work in six 24-hour days, God rated His creation as “very good” (1:31).  God does not make junk or anything inferior including you and me!

We are individually custom made by God (Psalm 139:13-18).  We are His masterpieces being fearfully and wonderfully made (vs. 14).  At the moment of conception, we are not just “sacs of tissue” or “potential” human beings but rather distinct persons as evidenced by David’s use of the personal pronouns “I, me and my” referring to his unborn self.  This is why pro-life folks do what they do to rescue precious babies and adoption is to be chosen above taking an innocent baby’s life. Unborn lives really do matter and thankfully 12 states now have totally banned abortion and 29 have limited abortion! 

Finally, all our lives do count in God’s eyes because Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God and Creator, came to earth in human flesh and blood to die on Calvary’s cross for each of us.  1 Timothy 2:4 says that God desires all to be saved and redeemed.  However, He leaves the choice to each of us.  It has been said that if you were the only sinner, Jesus still would have died for you.  Never forget how special you are in God’s eyes!
