Study

  1. Mark 16:15, Psalms 119:105 In order for us to reach the world, we must correctly understand what the Word of God says, so that we can preach the truth of God’s Word to the world.
    1. Isaiah 5:20 Today, we live in a society in many nations around the world where the murder of unborn babies more commonly known as abortion has been legalized, and many people now embrace and even promote abortion.
      1. Mathew 15:14 Many schools and universities now teach that abortion is a good option that youth should choose to make their lives easier and more convenient if they become pregnant.
      2. 2 Cor 6:17 Christian youth and young adults are under pressure today to conform to society and embrace abortion, but what does the Bible say about abortion?
    2. Psalms 139: 13-16, Exodus 20:13 The Bible is very clear that life begins in the womb, and that to kill an unborn baby is the same as killing any other person, it is the sin of murder.
  2. Deut 5:17, Prov. 8:36 Murder is a sin that is strongly condemned in the Bible, the Bible makes it very clear that anyone who condones murder does not love or know God.
    1. 2 Cor 4:4 Satan has blinded the minds of many people into thinking that it is better to murder your baby rather than take responsibility, raise your baby, and trust that God will provide for you.
      1. Romans 8:28 Even if a youth makes a mistake and gets pregnant, we must encourage them to repent of their sin, turn to God, keep their baby and trust that God will take care of them.
      2. Jer 1:5, Jer 29:11-13 God has a plan for every person that will ever be born, even babies who are born into difficult situations God can use to do great things in this world!
    2. Ezekiel 18:32, Acts 3:19 We as Christians must stand firm against the horrible sin of baby murder also known as abortion! We must encourage any youth we know who are pregnant to have their babies, and not abort them, and we must preach the truth of God’s Word and call people to repentance who are for abortion. God is calling us to #Reachtheworld!

                                                               Discussion 

1. Why do you think so many countries as well as individuals accept and even promote the murder of innocent babies also known as abortion?

2. What are some of the many dangers and extremely negative consequences of supporting abortion, encouraging abortion, or having an abortion?

3. Why is it absolutely essential that we as Christians hold firm to the standards of God’s Word and stand firm against the murder of unborn babies?

4. Do you know anyone who stands for abortion, or who either has had an abortion, or is thinking about getting an abortion? How can we evangelize them and try to lead them to Christ?

End: Pray for those who want to evangelize people they know who are for abortion. Then pray for any who need to accept Jesus as their Savior, lead them through the sinner’s prayer, then take requests.
