Text: Psalm 139:13-16.
Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan
Exhortation:
The fact that we are created in the image of God confirms that we cannot also be descendants of apes as some evolutionary scientists falsely claim. Such claim directly attacks the authenticity and integrity of God’s unfailing word.
Another implication of being created in God’s image is the sanctity of the human life. It is a very grave sin to deliberately put an end to the existence of a fellow human’s life. In Exodus 20:13, the word of God commands saying, “Thou shalt not kill.” Abortion is murder because it terminates human life. From conception to death, the sanctity of life must be preserved.
Life does not start from birth but from conception. The word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” Jeremiah 1:4-5
David said, “For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb. I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well. My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret,
And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. 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.” Psalm 139:13-16.
Abortion is murder so is suicide. Suicide is self-murder. All humans are created in the image of god therefore; it is a grave sin to deliberately take the life of another human, except in war, battle or accident.
Action Nugget: Repent from and forsake every thought of murder in the form of abortion, suicide or other forms of desecration of the human life.
