Every child in the womb is made in the image of God. So is every one of us, and every one of us has sinned against Him. “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). We have lied, hated, lusted, and loved ourselves above our Maker, and “the wages of sin is death” (Romans 6:23). God is holy and just, and He will not clear the guilty.
But God, who is rich in mercy, sent His Son. Jesus Christ, fully God and fully man, lived the perfect life we have not lived. He died on the cross in the place of sinners, bearing the wrath that we deserve, and on the third day He rose from the dead. “God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8).
He commands all men everywhere to repent (Acts 17:30). Turn from your sin and trust in Christ alone. Your good works can’t save you, and neither can your church or your vote. “If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved” (Romans 10:9).
This is the good news for every sinner, including the mother who has had an abortion, the father who drove her there, the doctor who performed it, and the legislator who protected it. There is no sin the blood of Christ cannot wash away. “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow” (Isaiah 1:18).
We do not call for justice for the preborn because we are better than anyone. We call for it because we have been forgiven, and because the God who forgives also commands us to “deliver those who are drawn toward death” (Proverbs 24:11).
Come to Christ today.
