The Sanctity of Life: Why Abortion is the Defining Issue of Our Time

Few issues stir as much passion and division as the question of abortion. As Christians, we believe that life begins at conception and that every life is precious in the eyes of God. Yet, in our society, this fundamental truth is under constant attack.

Psalm 139:13 tells us, ‘For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.’ This verse is a powerful reminder that life is sacred and ordained by God. However, our culture increasingly embraces a worldview that denies this truth, treating unborn children as disposable.

The recent overturning of Roe v. Wade was a step in the right direction, but the battle is far from over. States are now the frontlines in the fight for life, and Christians must continue to advocate for policies that protect the unborn. This is not just a political issue—it is a moral and spiritual one.

Critics accuse us of being ‘anti-choice,’ but we are unapologetically pro-life because we believe that every human being is made in the image of God. Our compassion must also extend to mothers in crisis, offering them the support they need to choose life.

The sanctity of life is a cornerstone of our faith. Let us be unrelenting in our prayers, our advocacy, and our love for both mothers and their children. Together, we can create a culture that values life from conception to natural death.
