SERMON NOTES--What God Says About Abortion
HOW SHOULD I LIVE? Part 4
July 30, 2006
Pastor Charlie

What does the Bible say about life in the womb?

1. The unborn are called babies. Luke 1:41; 2:12
2. The unborn are created by God. Psalm 139:13-16
3. The life of the unborn is protected by the same punishment for death as a child or an adult. Exodus 21:22-23
4. In the Bible it says that even unborn children possess distinctive human traits. Psalm 51:5
5. The unborn are said to be known intimately and personally by God, just as He would know any other person. Psalm 139:16
6. The unborn can be called by God, even before birth. Genesis 25:22-23; Isaiah 49:1, 5

Summary
If God has a plan for the fetus’s life;
If the fetus is personally known by God;
If the fetus possess human traits;
If God’s law treats a fetus as a human being – with punishment of death if killed;
If the fetus is created by God;
And if God uses the same term for the fetus as he does for a newborn;
Then it is reasonable and accurate to say God views the fetus as a life, just like He views any other human being.


What does the Bible say about our bodies? 1 Corinthians 6:19
Principle #1 – As believers we do not own our own bodies – God owns them.
Principle #2 – As believers our aim is to bring honor to God in what we do with our bodies.

Do we have a right, as a believer, to tell others what they should do with their bodies?
How do I now come to terms with some of my choices?

Psalm 51
1. Begin with a request for mercy according to God's love. (v. 1)
2. Confess your sin openly to God. (v. 3, 4)
3. Ask for renewal as you ask for forgiveness. (v .7-9, 10-12)
4. Tell others of what God has done for you. (v.13)
