What Can I do about abortions??
Over 150 years ago our nation legally practiced another abomination
to God, slavery. It was the people of God, those who knew Christ as their
Savior who ultimately forced the abolition of this gross wickedness of one
man to another. It was men and women of God who refused to sit back and
watch unbridled sin exist despite the fact that it was "legal." So it will
be with abortion as men and women of faith properly ask the question, "What
can I do?"
In the Book of James, God tells us that "faith without works is dead."
Since this was written to the church, people who were already saved, it in
NO WAY implies that works will save you. Ephesians 2:8,9 and many other
passages clearly refute that notion. What that passage is saying however,
is that once you are saved your faith requires action. If you are truly
saved, you understand that you have a God-given plan and purpose for your
life that must be fulfilled. You understand that your life is no longer
your own, that it belongs to Christ. Your life literally becomes an
instrument in the hands of God to fulfill His Divine plan and purpose. To
be used by God our Creator is the greatest use of our days on this earth
there can be.
While we all have been called to serve God in different ways, we are all
part of the same Body. We may have different jobs to perform but we are all
on the same team. Being part of the Body of Christ also carries some shared
responsibilities. We are all ambassadors of Christ and His representatives
at all times. We all are called to share our faith with the hurting and
lost, to give people a "reason for the hope we have." We all accept the
absolute Truth and authority of God's Word. Subsequently, we can't simply
sit back and see sin abound and do nothing. The existence of sin requires
and DEMANDS action on the part of the child of God.
So when confronted with the sin of abortion, what should that action be?
First, prayer. PRAYER CHANGES THINGS! I can only imagine the number of
prayers that went up every day during the time slavery was legal in this
nation, that this inhumane practice would end. Don't ever underestimate the
power of prayer and EVERY child of God must pray daily for this nation to
get out of the business of killing babies.
Second, communicate to others the Truth of God's Word. It is God Himself
who calls abortion murder. Those who know Christ cannot sit back and be
silent while people support this sin. Wherever the discussion of abortion
exists, be it in your home with family members, at work or school, out with
friends, or in the public square, a child of God MUST speak out for
righteousness and call this sin what it is...MURDER!
Third, evangelism. Some of you may be confused how evangelism has anything
to do with the abortion issue, but it is THE answer to this and every other
issue. You see, when a person is saved, the Bible says they become a "new
creature in Christ." They literally are a new creation and the "old things
pass away." When a person is saved they get a new heart, they get new
desires, they start to live their life in obedience to God instead of in
rebellion to Him. The ultimate answer to the abortion issue is to get
people saved since they would no longer make the choice to kill their baby
and the abortion mills would close down due to a lack of business.
AGAIN, EVERY PERSON THAT KNOWS JESUS HAS THE MANDATE FROM OUR LORD TO SHARE THE HOPE AND LOVE WE HAVE IN CHRIST WITH THE LOST. THIS IS NOT AN OPTION, IT IS A COMMANDMENT!
Let me remind you, as a child of God we have the greatest power
there is, the power of the Holy Sprit indwelling within us. The Bible
proclaims that NOTHING is impossible with God. That includes seeing the sin
of abortion being performed daily witht the full blessings and protection of
our Federal Government.
Do you realize that less than 4,000 people were killed on 9/11. The United
States properly responded, spending billions to defeat those who would seek
to destroy our nation and kill each one of us if they were given the
opportunity. However, more than that number of innocent babies are
slaughtered DAILY! It is clear that the politicians have no guts to stop
this practice of legalized infanticide, just like they had no guts to stop
the evils of slavery. It was the people of God who brought slavery to an
end and it will have to be the people of God to bring abortion to an end!
Every man, woman, and child that knows Christ as their Savior can pray, can
communicate the Truth of God's Word that abortion is murder, and can help
bring the lost to faith in Christ. Remember, nothing you do for the Lord is
in vain. If just these things were being done by those who have a personal
relationship with Jesus, you would see a major shift on this issue over
night. In addition, God will raise up key men and women to take a
leadership position in carrying out whatever His ultimate plan is to see
victory over the sin of abortion.
I will be praying for you today. Praying that you will realize you DO make
a difference. Just like no one person got this nation to abolish the sin of
slavery, it will not be one person to get this nation to abolish the sin of
abortion. It is going to take all of those who know the Lord to make this
happen. May we rise up in the power of Almighty God and take a stand for
righteousness as we say to this lost world, no more killing babies. We
either take action against this sin or we are no better than those who
support it. You asked the question, "What can I do?" Now I ask you the
question, " What WILL you do?"
