Would you?
It's 1943. A German officer has a gun pointed at you. He wants you to get into a bulldozer and drive it forward. In front of the bulldozer is a pit in which there are 300 Jews who have just been shot. Some of them are still alive. He wants you to bury them alive! If you don't do what he says, he is going to kill you and do it himself. Would you drive it forward? Probably not, because you value human life. How then do you feel about abortion? Perhaps you don't think it's a human being in the womb. Hitler said the Jews weren't human–so that he could justify killing them. And besides, you don't know when life begins, right?
God does, and He says, "You shall not kill." At just six weeks, the baby has hands, eyes, and a beating heart. So with these thoughts in mind, answer this question: "It's okay to kill a baby in the womb, when . . .?" Did you know that God considers hatred to be murder? (How much more will He condemn those who actually take the life of another). Here are some more questions: How many lies have you told in your life, have you ever stolen anything, or used God's name in vain? Jesus said, "Whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart." Have you looked with lust? Will you be guilty on Judgment Day? If you have done those things, God sees you as a lying, thieving, blasphemous adulterer-at-heart. The Bible warns that if you are guilty you will end up in Hell. But God, who the Bible says is "rich in mercy," sent His Son to suffer and die on the cross for guilty sinners. We broke God's Law, but Jesus paid our fine. That means He can legally dismiss our case. He can commute our death sentence and let us live: "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." Then He rose from the dead and defeated death. Please, repent (turn from sin) today, and God will forgive your every sin and grant everlasting life to all who trust in Jesus. Then read your Bible daily and obey it.
