Is Abortion Murder For Hire? Tuesday, May 29, 2012

 To many this is a controversial subject, but we need reminding and we need to know what GOD says about this. Some of you will say; haven’t we heard enough about this? No, you have not; it is the Lord’s will that this will be talked about. That being said there is no doubt in the Scriptures that abortion is murder. The abortion industry is not only murder it is full of greed, and when greed kicks in, greed brings trouble and heartache. There is a price on the head of every aborted child.

 This “so called industry” is making millions and millions of dollars a year off the lives of our unborn children. What does that say about this nation? Why is the church mostly silent about this? Why isn’t the church up in arms about this? Are we afraid to speak out on this issue? Are we in fear of our own government?  It is clear that this administration supports the abortion industry.

 Are we in fear of what the women’s rights organizations are going to say? What does this say about the nation’s morals? Why are we teaching our children that it is ok to have sex with anyone at any time and any place? Why are we not teaching our children the consequences of their actions?  What does it say about the people, the schools, counselors and others who are “advising” our daughters to have this procedure? Why aren’t we teaching right from wrong in our schools, in our homes anymore? Is this nation going to follow the way of Sodom and Gomorrah? We know what happened to them don’t we?

In Genesis 18 we see that Abraham pleaded with the Lord not to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah as we see in verse 32 Abraham had got God to agree to not destroy the cities even if there was only ten godly people in the city, this teaches us that the Lord is merciful and will hear the prayers of a righteous man; but in the end only Lot, his wife and two daughters left the city. The city had so much evil in it that only Lot and his family escaped with their lives and even then Lot’s wife after they had escaped the city looked back and was turned into a pillar of salt for the angels had informed them not to look back and she looked back.

As by the example of Sodom the wicked are warned to turn from their wickedness, so by the example of Lot’s wife the righteous are warned not to turn from their righteousness. Why did this happen to her? Her sin was that she looked back from behind him. She disobeyed an express command from God. This is only one good example that we can learn from; there are many more examples in the gospel. God loves us and wants us to have a joyful life filled with His mercy and grace but we have to look to Him and obey Him. Let us look at some scriptures that will let us know that abortion is murder.

God will protect those who are helpless. In Psalm 12 v5 from the NLT version, it states; “The Lord replies,” I have seen violence done to the helpless, and I have heard the groans of the poor.” When wickedness abounds, and goes barefaced under the protection and countenance of those in authority, then the times are very bad. When the wicked bear rule the people mourn. It is good that we have a God to go too from whom we may ask and expect the redress of all our grievances, but the unborn have no one to address their grievances we as Christians have to intercede to the Lord for them.

Psalm 82 v 3-4 “Give fair judgment to the poor and the orphan; uphold the rights of the oppressed and the destitute. Rescue the poor and helpless; deliver them from the grasp of evil people.”

God cares for the unborn. Exodus 21v 22-23 Amplified version, “ If men contend with each other, and a pregnant woman [interfering] is hurt so that she has a miscarriage, yet no further damage follows, [the one who hurt her] shall surely be punished with a fine [paid] to the woman’s husband, as much as the judges determine. But if any damage follows, you shall give life for life.”  V 24 talks about and eye for an eye and tooth for tooth. On this occasion comes in that the general law or retaliation which our Savior refers to, Matt, v 38, an eye for an eye. The execution of this law is not hereby put into the hands of private persons, the elders back then and many of the present day put a corrupt spin on the law that we are to take matters into our own hands, and that is in opposition to which our Savior commands us to forgive injures, and not to take revenge in our own hands. We should leave it to God. It is in God’s providence and he will make the punishment fit the sin.

Children are from God. Psalm 127 v3 NLT. “Children are a gift from the Lord; they are a reward from him.” It tells us in Matthew Henry’s Commentary that; children are a heritage, and a reward, and are so to be accounted, blessings and not burdens; for He that sends mouths will sent meat if we trust in Him. Children are a heritage for the Lord, as well as from Him.

God forms every child. Psalm 139 v 13-16 Amplified. “For you did form my inward parts; you did knit me together in my mother’s womb. I will confess and phrase You for You are fearful and wonderful and for the awful wonder of my birth! Wonderful are Your works, and that my inner self knows right well. My frame was not hidden from You when I was being formed in secret [and] intricately and curiously wrought [ as if embroidered with various colors] in the depths of the earth [ a region of darkness and mystery]. Your eyes saw my unformed substance, and in Your book all the days [of my life] were written before ever they took shape, when as yet there was none of them.”

This scripture tells us that God knew us before we were born; before we were formed what more do we need to convince us that from the moment of conception we are alive. Part of the problem is that out in the world so many have been fooled by Satan and taken in by his and man’s lies, remember the devil comes to kill, steal, and destroy and he is apparently doing a good job of it. There are thousands out there who do not know God, who do not believe in Him, and those who have fallen away, or have been taken in by the so called women’s rights movement that their body is their own, it does not belong to them, it belongs to God.

God plans the future of every child. Jeremiah 1v5.” I knew you before I formed you in your mother’s womb. Before you were born I set you apart and appointed you as my spokesman to the world.”

The gospel makes it clear that abortion is wrong; it is murder of the worse kind. What are we sowing here? Are we going to reap what we sow? The answer is yes we will reap what we sow; we need to plant good seeds not bad ones. How many future presidents, ministers, teachers, scientists, doctors or just regular people have not been born because of abortion? Our Father in heaven mourns and cries whenever a child’s life has been cut short. It breaks His heart.

 We as a nation, as people, and the church need to cry out to God for forgiveness; we need to repent and cry out for His mercy and grace. We need to instill godliness, morality and responsibility in our children our future depends on it.

 Each of us bears responsibility, we are responsible to God, and to our unborn children for our actions. We need to repeal Roe v Wade; that will be a step in the right direction.

 Our God is a forgiving God; those who have had an abortion or even the person or persons who performed the abortion can be forgiven by God, they have to go before Him and ask Him for that forgiveness and in their heart truly repent for that sin and they will be forgiven by our wonderful Savior.

 You may ask; how do I know that those who committed abortion can be forgiven; in Mark 3 v28 NKJV our Lord and Savior says, “Assuredly, I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they may utter.” To make it clearer in Matthew Henry’s Commentary it says,” it is true, the gospel promiseth, because Christ hath purchased, forgiveness for the greatest sins and sinners. Many of those who reviled Christ on the cross found mercy, and Christ himself prayed, Father forgive them.” All of us need to pray for this nation; that we as a nation will get back to the biblical principles that this country was founded on.
