Precious in God's Sight

 

Prelude: Warning Belief in God is Essential!

 

One would assume that people would acknowledge that there exists a Creator. Does not creation itself reveal a great design exposed by examining the world around us? How many people, deep down are really convinced that this world just "happened?" If you have bought into the Satanic lie that you just evolved, then you are deceived and wasting your precious living moments of life reading information about something you deny.

People think they have a right to abort, that is to murder, an innocent unborn child. They state, "It is my body and its my choice and I have a right to choose to perform an abortion." Holy scripture reveals that these people are immoral, wicked, and have no shame. We understand that Planned Parenthood harvests these babies (labeled as fetuses) and sells the baby parts. Under most circumstances, abortion is murder, and God said we are not to murder. Life starts with conception and life is in the blood. Leviticus 17:11, "For the life of all flesh is its blood.…" Christ shed His blood for all who would repent and obey. Romans 6:16, "Don't you realize that to whom you yield yourselves as servants to obey, you are servants of the one you obey, whether it is of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?"

The following Biblical scripture illustrates God's involvement in the genesis of newly conceived human progeny within the womb. When a child dies prematurely; who is to know if that person may have discovered how to cure cancer or solved other problems that are inherit in the world today?

Jeremiah 1:5, "Before I formed you in the belly I knew you; and before you came forth out of the womb I consecrated you, and I ordained you a prophet to the nations." We see that God is quite aware of what is occurring within a woman's womb!

Israel was selected from within his mother's womb. Isaiah 44:2, "Thus says the LORD Who made you, and formed you from the womb, Who will help you, 'Fear not, O Jacob My servant, and you, Jeshurun, whom I have chosen." While in the womb, God called and named Israel for His purpose. Isaiah 49:1, "Listen, O isles, to Me; and hearken, you people from afar; the LORD has called Me from the womb; He has made mention of My name from My mother's belly."

David of the Old Covenant was selected at birth, predestined for God's purpose. Psalm 22:10, "I was cast upon You from birth; You are My God from My mother's womb." David knew that God selected him from his mother's womb. Psalm 71:6, "By You I have been upheld from the womb; You are He who took me out of my mother's belly; my praise always shall be of You." Psalm 139:13, "For You formed my inmost being; You knit me together in my mother's womb." Humans have researched into the process of the miracle of creation within the womb! Psalms 139:15-17, "My frame was not hidden from You when I was made in secret, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. 16 Your eyes saw my unformed body; all my days were written in Your book and ordained for me before one of them came to be. 17 How precious to me are Your thoughts, O God, how vast is their sum!

God had a purpose for John, the Baptist, to be born. Luke 1:16-17, "And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God. 17 And he shall go before Him {Christ} in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous, to make ready a people prepared for the Lord." John received the Holy Spirit before birth. Luke 1:15, "For he shall be great before the Lord. And he shall never drink wine or strong drink in any form, but he shall be filled with the Holy Spirit even from his mother's womb."

Do not think it strange that God has a plan for each of us even before we are born! We learn from scripture that God knows us intimately and has a purpose for our lives. This concept highlights God's omniscience and sovereignty, showing that He is aware of our existence even before we come into being. It also emphasizes the idea that each person is uniquely created and valued by God.

What does the bible say about God knowing you before you were born? Who is to say that Perhaps God has also chosen you while you were in your mother's womb? Galatians 1:15, "But when it pleased God, Who selected me from my mother's womb, and called me by His grace."

Do you understand the depth of your own personal calling by God: Ephesians 1:4,"According as He has personally chosen us for Himself before the foundation of the world in order that we might be holy and blameless before Him in love."

We were formed by God's secret ingredients. Job 10:10-11, Have You not poured me out like milk, and curdled me like cheese? 11 You have clothed me with skin and flesh, and have fenced me with bones and sinews."

God has commanded in Exodus 20:13, "You shall not murder." Yet people violate the Law of God and think that they "do no wrong." Judges 21:25, "In those days … Every man did what was right in his own eyes." However we are warn that the External's judgment is coming in: Isaiah 3:11-13, "Woe to the wicked! For the evil doing of his hand will be given to him. 12 As for My people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. Oh, My people, those who lead you cause you to err and destroy the way of your paths." 13 The LORD stands up to plead His case, and stands up to judge the people." Why will humankind reap punishment? Isaiah 55:8 " 'For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor your ways My ways,' says the LORD." Ezekiel 18:4, "Behold, all souls are Mine. As the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son, they are Mine. The soul that sins, it shall die."

People have a choice and a responsibility to not get pregnant in today's society. Most pregnancies are not due to rape nor incest. Some pregnancies are due to people committing adultery and fornication; thus cheating and lying and then subsequently they want to rid themselves of "the evidence." Some couples for social, economic, or career choices do not want children until "later." There are many forms of birth control; and if both partners are responsible there is less chance of conception of an unwanted child before the couple is ready for a child. However if a pregnancy occurs, people need to realize that an unborn baby is a living human being. Like all life, be it a puppy, kitten, foal, calf, the baby has the right to life. Yes there are situations when a child might have to be taken and die before birth such as an ectopic pregnancy when a fertilized egg implants and grows outside the uterus, usually in a fallopian tube. This is called a tubal pregnancy and can be life-threatening if not treated. In other situations there may be ample proof the child is not going to live at all outside the womb due to genetic defects or something has gone wrong. God also has ordained that natural miscarriages occur.

 

God Warns Those Who Break His Laws!


God has this to say to those who perform abortions for profit and wealth: Deuteronomy 27:25, " 'Cursed is anyone who accepts a bribe to kill an innocent person.' Then all the people shall say, 'Amen!' " Proverbs 6:16-19, "There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers."

1 Corinthians 6:9, "Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals." Our wrong thoughts provoke evil deeds: Matthew 15:19, "For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness {lying}, slanders." Some women and men want to right to play and be sexually active with anyone they please and to not have the consequences of their immoral lifestyle. They are selfish and do not consider anyone but themselves. Not considering the rights of the father, if they even know who the father is and who might want to raise the child. Not the grandparents rights on either side and not the unborn child rights. They do not care what anyone thinks, including God. They do not want to take responsibility for their actions. They want tax payers to pay for their indiscretions that caused their pregnancy. God never said you may murder a child; however He does approve of adoptions.

God's law was enacted to control those who would be lawbreakers: 1 Timothy 1:8-11, "Now we know that the law is good, if one uses it legitimately. 9 We realize that law is not enacted for the righteous, but for the lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinful, for the unholy and profane, for killers of father or mother, for murderers, 10 for the sexually immoral, for homosexuals, for slave traders and liars and perjurers, and for anyone else who is averse to sound teaching 11 that agrees with the glorious gospel of the blessed God, with which I have been entrusted. "

A warning for law breakers! Romans 1:28-29, "Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. 29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips."


Summation


Complacency is a prevalent sin today in our nation. Revelation 3:16-17, "So because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to vomit you out of My mouth! 17 You say, 'I am rich; I have grown wealthy and need nothing.' But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind, and naked." There are those in this nation who are spiritually bankrupt! Psalms 106:36-39, "They worshiped their idols, which became a snare to them. 37 They sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons. 38 They shed innocent blood— the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan, and the land was polluted with blood. 39 They defiled themselves by their actions and prostituted themselves by their deeds. Politically speaking: Psalm 94:21, "They {the wicked} band together against the righteous and condemn the innocent to death." Your quiet silence becomes an abomination to God. Proverbs 17:15, "He who justifies the wicked and he who condemns the righteous are both alike an abomination to the LORD." Will you preach righteousness by your example of righteous acts and deeds or become entrapped with the lusts of the flesh?

God wants us to take actions that please Him! Jeremiah 51:45, "Come out of her, My people! Save your lives, each of you, from the fierce anger of the LORD." God is quite aware of what is occurring in today's evil society! Will your actions please your Creator? Revelation 18:4-5, "And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, 'Come out of her, My people, so that you do not take part in her sins, and that you do not receive of her plagues, 5 For her sins have reached as far as heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities.'
