The lives of millions of babies are intentionally ended in the womb because of the acceptance and promotion of abortion as a right. Most people don’t seem to care about this. As Christians, what should we think?

What does God say?

We know from God’s Word that human beings are made in his image (Genesis 1:26-27). He knows us before we are born.

God said to Jeremiah, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations” (Jeremiah 1:5).

The Psalmist wrote:

For you formed my inward parts;
    you knitted me together in my mother’s womb.
I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Wonderful are your works;
    my soul knows it very well.
My frame was not hidden from you,
when I was being made in secret,
    intricately woven in the depths of the earth.
Your eyes saw my unformed substance;
in your book were written, every one of them,
    the days that were formed for me (Psalm 139\;13-16).

A baby is an image of God. God knows her even before she is formed in the womb. A baby is “wonderfully knitted together by God” in his mother’s womb. God loves every baby conceived and wants that baby to live and know and serve him.
