Abortion' Questions: Self-justification? or Humility Before God?

What do we think we can do to please God? That is the foundational question of life that God answered in His Commandments given to Moses. Micah 6:6-8 raises questions that every one of us must answer, if we are honest with ourselves and God, if we are thinking about killing our child, whether our child is unborn or in the world.

⁶ Wherewith shall I come before the LORD, and bow myself before the high God? 

The Bible says that we are to bring our own self before God and offer our lives and love to Him, honestly and humbly.

shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves of a year old? ⁷  Will the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousands of rivers of oil? 

The logical answer to these questions is "No." God is not seeking any worldly offerings from us.

shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?

Again, the logical answer is, "No." Whether by rape or promiscuity, whether it is in sobriety or drunkenness, whether with hardened heart morally, in honest error, or with rejoicing that a woman has become pregnant, God does not want women killing off their born or unborn children.

⁸  He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God? 

It is only in this humble manner that God wants us to come before Him and to submit ourselves to Him, even with our most earnest desires or distresses that burn in our souls. It is only in these humble things that we please God and not just seek to please ourselves or the world around us. When we honor God and His Word, He makes the way before us, whether it may seem difficult or easy. His promises are to all who trust in Him and in His Savior.

God bless you to honor the life God has given you. Please, do not choose death and destruction of that growing life that is within you. That child is a discrete biological person, separate from your own body. Honest science and doctors will tell you that. 

No matter how you got pregnant, raise up that child in godly love and God's Truth, because God loves both you and your child. God's plan of salvation can help you find and live a godly life and help put aside the sin and guilt of thinking that you might want to kill your own child. Please turn to a life of faith in God's ability to nurture life  through your, and thus avoid a life overshadowed by the sin of murder by abortion.
