The Pro-Life Teaching from the Bible
The Bible asks the question:
"Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you!" Isaiah 49:15
The Bible teaches that God created man in His image and commanded mankind to be fruitful and multiply (Genesis 1:26-28).
The sanctity of life is declared (Gen 9:6).
The conception of children is seen as a gift from God (Gen 21:1, 2; 25:21).
The shedding of innocent blood defiles the nation that allows it (Numbers 35:33). Children should not die for the sin of the parents (Deut. 24:16).
The dignity of human life is declared by God (Psalm 8).
David recognized that his humanity had started from the moment of conception (Psalm 51:5).
God renews the face of the earth by creating life (Psalm 104:30).
Children are a blessing from the Lord, a heritage and a reward (Psalm 127:3).
God hates the hands that shed innocent blood (Proverbs 6:16, 17).
God forms us from the womb (Isaiah 44:2).
We have a Christian responsibility to warn the wicked (Ezekiel 3:17-19).
The killing of pregnant women brings God's wrath down upon the wicked (Amos 1:13-15).
Of the children, Jesus said:
"Whoever welcomes a little child like this in My name welcomes Me." Matthew 18:5
"See that you do not look down on one of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of My father in heaven." Matthew 18:10
"In the same way your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should be lost." Matthew 18:14
What then should the Christian response to abortion be?
In Exodus 1 we read that when the king of Egypt commanded the killing of all the male babies born, God blessed those midwives who refused to kill the new-born.
"Rescue those being led away to death; hold back those staggering towards slaughter." Proverbs 24:11
According to the Christian Action Network, every year in the USA, over one and a half million lives are ended by abortion.
