Sanctity of Life Sunday
“Justice Ministry” (Pro. 31:8-9)
Mic. 6:8 He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God? That’s a command and its others oriented.
Isa. 1:17 learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression;
bring justice to the fatherless, plead the widow’s cause. Where do we start on this?
Speak Justice for the Unborn (v.8)
What does it mean to be human? 2 prevailing views:
Person – we are valuable (sanctity of life) by virtue of the kind of being or creature we are, which is an image-bearer of almighty God.
Performance – being human is nothing special, we’re probably random accidents of evolution and what matters most, is what you do, or how self-aware you are.
The Prolife Argument is very basic and logical:
1. Intentionally killing an innocent human being is a moral wrong.
2. Abortion on demand is the intentional killing of an innocent human being.
3. Therefore, abortion is a moral wrong.
Seek Justice for the Unborn (v.9)
Psa. 82:3-4 3 Give justice to the weak and the fatherless; maintain the right of the afflicted and the destitute. 4 Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked.”
We want to convince people to do 4 things:
1. Treasure human life (womb to tomb).
2. Reject abortion as the moral wrong (sin) that it is.
3. Experience God's forgiveness (hope of the gospel).
4. Rescue the innocent, one mother and one baby at a time (obey the command- “the weak and needy”).
