A Biblical Defense for the Sanctity of Life
Today's special message confronts us with an unflinching biblical defense of the sanctity of human life, challenging the lies our culture tells us about the value of the unborn. We're taken through Scripture's clear declarations that life begins at conception, not birth, and that every person—from the moment of conception to their final breath—bears the sacred image of God. The exploration of Exodus 21:22-25 is particularly striking, showing us that God demanded capital punishment even for the accidental death of an unborn child, revealing how seriously He protects pre-born life. We see David in Psalm 139 using personal pronouns to describe himself in the womb, and we witness God personally forming Adam and breathing life into him in a way He did no other creature. The message cuts through our world's dehumanizing language of 'fetus' and 'choice' to reveal the biblical truth: that which grows in the womb is a living person, known and chosen by God. For those of us navigating a culture that celebrates abortion, this teaching equips us to answer not with emotion or politics, but with Scripture. It reminds us that we have no rights over life because we didn't create it—God did. Whether we're young people facing temptation, parents teaching our children, or believers engaging our world, we're called to protect what God has declared precious and to remember that every human being, no matter how small or how sinful, bears the image of their Creator.
