1. God Made Us In His Image<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then God said, “Let us make human beings in our image, to be like ourselves<\/em>.   Genesis 1:26<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. God Knew Us From The Womb<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb. You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed.   <\/em>Psalms 139:15-16<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. God\u2019s Condemnation of Abortion is Implicit<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Children are a gift from the Lord; they are a reward from him.   <\/em>Psalms 127:3<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now suppose two men are fighting, and in the process they accidentally strike a pregnant woman so she gives birth prematurely. If no further injury results, the man who struck the woman must pay the amount of compensation the woman’s husband demands and the judges approve. But if there is further injury, the punishment must match the injury: a life for a life\u2026<\/em>   Exodus 21:22-24<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Jesus Charged Us With The Care of The Least of These<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I tell you the truth, when you refused to help the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were refusing to help me.<\/em>   Matthew 25:45<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And they will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous will go into eternal life<\/em>.    Matthew 25:46<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And anyone who welcomes a little child like this on my behalf is welcoming me. 6 But if you cause one of these little ones who trusts in me to fall into sin, it would be better for you to have a large millstone tied around your neck and be drowned in the depths of the sea.   <\/em>Matthew 18:5<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Bible Teaches Life at Conception<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I knew you before I formed you in your mother’s womb.   <\/em>Jeremiah 1:5<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But even before I was born, God chose me and called me by his marvelous grace.   <\/em>Galatians 1:15<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Truth Plus Grace<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let your conversation be gracious and attractive so that you will have the right response for everyone.   <\/em>Colossians 4:6<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Tips For Talking About Abortion<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And if someone asks about your Christian hope, always be ready to explain it. 16 But do this in a gentle and respectful way.<\/em>   1 Peter 3:15-16<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
