God's Plan for the Unborn

 Jeremiah 1:5
 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.

The announcement of our 2nd grandchild was great news. We were eager to know if it would be a boy or a girl, but we had to wait until the “Gender Reveal” event day. Modern medical advancements have made it possible for parents to know whether their newborn will be a boy or a girl. Many parents choose to wait until the day the baby is born to find out the gender. The miracle of the birth of a newborn baby starts in the mind of God. God, who is all knowing, the creator of heaven, earth, and life, knows the beginning to the end. He is the Alpha and Omega. Before the time of inception, He knew the gender of the unborn baby. The creation of life is a beautiful thing. The Bible is clear that life starts before the baby takes its first breath of air. A baby is born, and God has already made plans for this newborn. The US Supreme Court ruling of Roe Vs Wade, allowing women to choose if they want to take life before the baby is born has caused a divide in our nation. Those who choose to keep life are referred to as Pro-Life, or Anti-abortionists, and those who choose to take life are called Abortionists. They choose to abort the life that God has created within them.  We live in a sad world where taking the life of the unborn is legally allowed and often encouraged by our society. The reasons are justified and often done for reasons of convenience. We realize that there are circumstances that cause us to justify aborting life. The life of the mother sometimes becomes a major factor, and we understand the hard decisions that are made. But God has a plan for each life that He created. He sets apart each life for His purpose, and ordains each life to serve the creator. He who is all knowing will bring to pass that which is good.

We Belong to God.

1 Corinth 6:19- What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?

The mantra on the pro choice movement is that no one should be able to make the choice to have a baby except for them, for it is their body, therefore they have the right to decide whether the baby inside their womb will die or live. What! do they not know that their bodies is the temple created for the dwelling place God. That the body we have is not are own, but was created by God and belongs to Him. For those who are in Christ, God in flesh came to this world and paid the price to purchase and pay the debt for sin. He bought us and owns us as His own. We no longer can claim that we can do what we want with our bodies, for we have become one in Christ and the things we do with our body must follow the commands and principles of God’s word. That is why the taking of our own lives is wrong, that is why we don’t ingest substance that can kill the body, and that is why abortion is wrong. The taking the life of an unborn child is morally wrong if the word of God is given any consideration as our moral compass. Life is precious with God, even the life within the womb.
