We Christians start out as immature in the faith, but as we mature in the knowledge of Christ, we realize how much more there is to being a Christ-Follower than sitting in a pew and soaking in the message. And if we are faithful in studying scripture, and truly following Christ, we will not have a doubt that He stands for life. So let’s follow Him and prevent abortion by:
1. Just saying “No.” I know, no one wants to hear this, but, what is the only 100%, never fail, method of birth control? I know what you’re thinking; we couldn’t possibly say no to sex before marriage. But here you have it, simple, yet effective.
2. Let God truly rule in your thoughts, mind and heart. If you are like-minded with Christ, which as a Christ-Follower you should be, then it is an easy solution to abortion. You won’t let the thought of abortion even enter your mind.
3. Be strong in the Lord. God really does see and cares what you are going through. “Do not be discouraged for the Lord your God will be with you…”(Joshua 1:9) If you have a pregnancy that wasn’t planned and all you can see are the insurmountable problems, be strong. He truly will be with you; you have His full attention. Believe that. And He will send others to walk with you through this.
4. Don’t be fearful of fellow Christians, or parents, or friends, or the man pushing you into abortion. Isaiah 41:10 –“So do not fear, for I am with you…I will strengthen you and help you…” Hebrews 13:6– The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?” Years from now you will wonder how you could have let someone talk you into abortion, so be fearless now.
5. Adoption. Many people are yearning for, and praying for a child, but cannot conceive. Could it possibly be that God has worked this out that you can give this blessing to another? “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him…” Romans 8:28
