"GOD Loves the Unborn"

                                                          GOD's VIEW ON LIFE

     The ALMIGHTY GOD HIMSELF refers to the unborn as literal human beings. In HIS OWN WORDs, HE stated that the virgin Mary ". . . was found with child of the HOLY GHOST." (Matthew 1:18) This verse refers to JESUS CHRIST when HE was still in Mary's womb.

     When speaking of the unborn baby, John, the Bible states, ". . . the babe leaped in her womb. . ." (Luke1:41) Refusing a helpless baby the right to be born is murder and is therefore against GOD's will. Proverbs 6:16-17 states, "These six things does the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto HIM: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood. . ."

                                                       THE CHOICE FOR LIFE !

     Friend, did you know that GOD's Holy WORD speaks of others who are unborn in a different kind of way ? However, these can choose to be born or not. In the Bible, JESUS explained this to a very moral and religious man named Nicodemus. "JESUS answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of GOD." (John 3:3) Thinking that JESUS was talking about a physical birth, "Nicodemus said unto HIM, How can a man be born when he is old ? Can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born ?" (John 3:4) JESUS' answer was that a man must have a second birth - a spiritual birth - to enter into the Kingdom of GOD. ". . . Except a man be born of water (the first birth from the mother's womb) and of the SPIRIT (from the WORD of GOD), he cannot enter into the kingdom of GOD." (John 3:5) JESUS did not use the word "water" in this context to refer to water baptism; instead, HE is speaking of the human physical birth. JESUS reaffirms this meaning in verse 6, when HE said, "That which is born of the flesh is flesh (Physical Birth); and that which is born of the SPIRIT is spirit (Spiritual Birth)."

                                                    WHY A SECOND BIRTH ?

     According to the Bible, GOD said that Adam, the first man, would die the very day that he ate the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. GOD warned Adam, ". . .in the day that thou eat thereof thou shalt surely die." (Genesis 2:17) And yet, Adam did not die a physical death that day. His death was a spiritual death, which passed upon all mankind. "Wherefore, as by one man (Adam) sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:" (Romans 5:12) All mankind has inherited spiritual death from Adam and must be "born again", as JESUS said, to have spiritual life.

                                                     GOD LOVES THE UNBORN !

     JESUS told Nicodemus how to be born spiritually in John 3:14-15: ". . .even so must the SON of MAN be lifted up: That whosoever believes in HIM should not perish, but have eternal life." Please notice that only belief in GOD is required for spiritual life, and it is nothing you can earn through doing good works. John 3:16 says, "For GOD so loved the world (the spiritually unborn), that HE gave HIS only begotten SON (to die on the cross), that whosoever believe in HIM should not perish, but have everlasting life." GOD promised those who believe in HIM would have everlasting life, not a probationary life.

     If you have never been born again; you are spiritually unborn; but GOD loves you, and HE has made a way for you to become HIS Spiritual child. Friend, according to GOD's Holy WORD, you are a creation of GOD, but you are not considered a child of GOD until you are born of the SPIRIT. The only way that you can become a child of GOD is by putting your complete faith in JESUS CHRIST to save your soul. "Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the Gospel. . . by which also ye are saved (born again), . . .For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that CHRIST died for our sins according to the Scriptures; and that HE was buried, and that HE rose again the third day according to the Scriptures: and that HE was seen. . ." 1st.Corinthians 15:1a,2a,3-5a. GOD makes this very clear in HIS Holy WORD. "For ye are all the children of GOD by faith in CHRIST JESUS." (Galatians 3:26) Think of it ! The very moment that you call on JESUS CHRIST, trusting HIM to save your soul, you are birthed into the Family of GOD and you are HIS child forever ! "But as many as received HIM, to them gave HE power to become the sons of GOD, even to them that believe on HIS name:" (John 1:12)

                                                      WHAT IS YOUR CHOICE ?

___ I choose to be born of the SPIRIT by completely trusting in JESUS CHRIST to save my soul forever. "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the LORD JESUS, and shalt believe in thine heart that GOD hath raised HIM from the dead, thou shalt be saved (born again)." (Romans 10:9)

___ I am content with being born once, and choose to remain spiritually unborn (dead). ". . .he that believes not the SON shall not see life; but the wrath of GOD abides on him." (John 3:36)

If you would like to call on the LORD to save you, and have the promise of everlasting life, pray this simple prayer or one like it with all your heart and receive CHRIST today.

LORD, I know that I am a sinner, and I believe that YOU died and rose again for me. I am trusting YOU to forgive me, come into my heart and save me. Help me to live for YOU always. In JESUS' name I pray, AMEN.

Being Spiritually born again and receiving the gift of everlasting life begins the moment we receive CHRIST as our personal LORD and SAVIOR.  The LORD JESUS said, " And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish" (John 10:28)

Your servant in CHRIST,
