The sanctity of life defies humanity as being more sacred than the rest of God’s creation. In Genesis 9:3 God told humans that
they have the authority to kill and eat other forms of life; but in Genesis 9:6 the murdering of other human beings is totally forbidden with the penalty pronounced as death.
God’s churches and individual believers should pause on Sunday, January 17, 2016, and reflect on the beauty of life in the
womb and to pray for the proponents of abortion and euthanasia. While the sanctity of life ethics may be disparaged by the
world, it is God’s voice. The Bible is clear: human life is precious at all ages. We are reminded by Ethics leader Dr. Russell Moore that we have to say things to each other that Christians shouldn’t have to say:
1. Mothers shouldn’t kill their – babies.
2. Fathers shouldn’t abandon their – families.
3. No human life is – worthless.
The very fact that these thoughts should be proclaimed is a true reminder of the horrors of this present world’s darkness. So may we join millions of others on Sanctity of Human Life Sunday, January 17, 2016 and love life.
