What prevents
an abortion provider or worker from eternal salvation?
The biggest barrier that
keeps people from eternal salvation is pride. In James 4:6, the
Bible says God resisteth the proud, but
giveth grace unto the humble. Although Jesus said “…He that cometh
to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never
thirst” in John 6:35, and the Bible says in Psalm 51:17 that, “a
broken and contrite heart God will not despise,” the sad truth is,
the sin of pride will keep many people from humbling themselves,
acknowledging their sins, and coming to Jesus Christ for the forgiveness
and salvation He has made possible through His death and resurrection.
There is no denying that according to God’s standard of righteousness
found in the Ten Commandments and throughout the Bible that ALL have
sinned and come short of the glory of God. There is also no denying
that God, although He is love, is also just. He hates sin with a
perfect hatred and will by no means clear the guilty, according to
Exodus 34:7. This means that every person, no matter how big or small
their sin, is under the just wrath of God at this very moment. God’s
wrath will be poured out in the coming Day of the Lord’s Judgment
on every single person who has not repented and called on the Name
of the Lord Jesus Christ, who shed His blood and died on the cross
of Calvary, rising again three days later, so that sinners who humble
themselves before Him and seek His mercy can be saved.
Is there
any sin or sinner that God will not forgive?
There are some who have said
that some sins, like the murder of the innocent, are just too horrible
for God to forgive and that there is
no hope for someone who has taken part in such a crime. Let it be known,
though, that according to the Bible, as wicked a sin as that is, and
as much as God thoroughly detests the hands that shed innocent blood
through abortion or any other way according to Proverbs 6:16-17, there
is still forgiveness and pardon offered in God’s Word for that offense,
too, through the mercy of Jesus Christ. Mercy is defined as “Not getting
what you do deserve.” Indeed, anyone who takes part in the horribly violent
crime of slaughtering innocent, unborn children does not deserve any
mercy, either from God or the law of man. Murder should be a Capitol
Offense and in many cases it is in this country. Nevertheless, the truth
is that as God hates the shedding of innocent blood, He also does not
take pleasure in the death of the wicked, according to Ezekiel 18. That’s
why He has warned mankind in His Word that He has appointed a day in
which He will judge the world, and that He has commanded all men everywhere
to repent toward Him, and put their faith in Jesus Christ. The Bible
says in Acts 17:30: “And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but
now commandeth all men every where to repent:”
How much
patience will God show towards those who continue to be involved with
the murder of unborn children?
The Lord has been very patient
with sinful men and women, because He is not willing that any should
perish, but that all should come to repentance.
2 Peter 3:9 says: “The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some
men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that
any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” Jesus died
in the place of a murderer named Barabbas, saving him from physical execution
when Pilate was willing to release Jesus. In the same way Jesus has also
taken the punishment of those involved in abortions, the murder of the
unborn, to save them from the spiritual death and torment their sins
justly deserve, if they will just repent and believe on Him. In I Timothy
1:15, the Bible says Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners,
and no limit or degree of sinner is put on that. If you are involved
in abortion, your hands are red with the innocent blood of unborn children.
If you approve of abortion, you support the murder of innocent, unborn
children, and that’s not much better. The Bible says in Isaiah 5:20, “Woe
unto them that call evil good, and good evil…”
What happens
if an abortion provider or worker dies before trusting in Christ?
Nobody is guaranteed a
tomorrow. In James 4:14 the Bible warns that our lives are as a
vapour. If you die in your sins, you will have
to answer to God for your sins and be sent to an eternal Lake of
Fire,
called Hell, to pay for them. Please do not delay, but immediately
call upon
the Lord Jesus Christ to cleanse and save you. This is God’s invitation
to all sinners, found in Isaiah 1:18, and 55:6-7: “Come now, and
let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet,
they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson,
they
shall
be as wool. Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon
him while he is near: Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous
man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have
mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.”
How Long
Will Abortion be Legal in America?
God knows all the thoughts and actions
of man
Who will judge those who murder
unborn children? Who will judge those who assist those who take the
lives of unborn children? Psalm 94 clearly
states that GOD is the judge of the earth. Even David, the Bible writer
of Psalm 23, was discouraged about the wickedness that prevailed in his
time. As David asked, we ask as well, “How long will the wicked triumph?”
God sees and hears all the wicked acts that take place in our nation.
Psalm 94:9 states, “He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that
formed the eye, shall he not see?”
God is our defence
David finishes Psalm 94 with
the declaration, “The Lord is my defence;
and my God is the rock of my refuge.” We can trust God as our defence
and as the rock of our refuge. The final verse of Psalm 94 says, “And
he shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut them off in
their own wickedness; yea, the LORD our God shall cut them off.”
Psalms 94:1 O LORD God, to whom
vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, shew thyself.
2 Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render a reward to the proud.
3 LORD, how long shall the wicked, how
long shall the wicked triumph?
4 How long shall they utter and speak hard things? and all the workers of iniquity
boast themselves?
5 They
break in pieces thy people, O LORD, and afflict thine heritage.
6 They slay the widow and
the stranger, and murder the fatherless.
7 Yet they say, The LORD shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard
it.
8 Understand, ye brutish among the people: and ye fools, when will ye be wise?
9 He that
planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see?
10 He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct? he that teacheth man
knowledge, shall not he know?
11 The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.
12 Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, and teachest him out of
thy law;
13 That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit
be digged for the wicked.
14 For the LORD will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.
15 But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all the upright in heart
shall follow it.
16 Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? or who will stand up for
me against the workers of iniquity?
17 Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence.
18 When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O LORD, held me up.
19 In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul.
20 Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief
by a law?
21 They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn
the innocent blood.
22 But the LORD is my defence; and my God is the rock of my refuge.
23 And
he shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut them off in their
own wickedness; yea, the LORD our God shall cut them off.
