The news coming from Australia recently is staggering. The Christian Institute reported the following 'A couple who conceived twin baby boys through fertility treatment in Australia have aborted them because they wanted a girl'. Apparently they have 3 boys and lost a girl shortly after she was born. They then went on to ivf treatment and conceived twin boys. Not wanting the boys they terminated them by abortion technique's. This made me think of how God saw man at one time after His creation in Genesis 6.
Gen 6:5-6 And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. (6) And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
Many would say 'you heart has to go out to them' and yes it must be something unexplainable when anyone would lose a child during or after birth yet we must not allow this sympathy to cloud our judgement as far as life is concerned.
Life is precious right from the very beginning of conception. God knows about it and speaks about it through David in Psalm 139
Psalm 139:13-16 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb. (14) I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. (15) My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. (16) Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.
Adam in his failure toward God caused all this by his wilful sin in disobeying. How we should be so thankful that God in presenting His only begotten Son the Lord Jesus Christ as the second Adam who because of His impeccability ie no sin in Him, He did no Sin nor could He have sinned, has made that sacrifice on the cross at Calvary that we in confession of our sinfulness can be saved.
Galatians 1:4 Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:
Hallelujah! What a Saviour.
