Abortion Help Near Charlottesville, VA
The Problem with Abortion
Ultimately abortion is a sin against God. God made man in his image in order to be his representative on the earth (Genesis 1:26-30), unlike any other creature, and because of this each human being has inherit dignity and is valuable. God has made moral laws out of love for his creation, in order to protect and promote human life and flourishing. One of those laws being that we should not murder another human being (Exodus 20:13). From the moment of conception each human being is made in the image of God and is therefore valuable (Psalm 139:13-16). Terminating a pregnancy is therefore murdering an image bearer of God and is a sin.
The Hope for those Considering Abortion
Ultimately each person has sinned and rebelled against God (Romans 3:10-20). Each of us has lied, become murderously angry with someone else, and have not loved the Lord with all our heart (Matthew 22:34-40). Since each of us a sinned against an infinitely holy God each of us, though we are finite, deserve an infinite punishment of God’s judgement on our sin. The hope is that God did not leave us to die in our sin but he sent his son, Jesus Christ who was God and man, to live a sinless life and to die on the cross in our place for our sin. The only way to receive this forgiveness and payment for your debt is to believe in Jesus Christ (Romans 3:23-26).
