As humans, we often mistakenly value a person’s life by what they give to the world, their gifts, talents, and abilities. But this is not how God values a person’s life. He does not attribute value based on perceived earthly contributions.  No, with God, all life is precious. From conception to the grave, God values all life as important and valuable.


Main Points:

1. One of the most controversial issues of our lifetime has been that of abortion. The question at the heart of this debate is, “When does life begin?” Does it begin at conception or does it begin at birth? Does it begin at some other point during the pregnancy?


2. Because life originates with God. All life is precious to him. Every life has worth to God. The unborn child in the womb is valuable to God. The handicapped person is valuable to God. Those with mental illness are valuable to God. The elderly in a nursing home are valuable to God. All life is precious, and because of so, every life is worthy of dignity and respect.


3. If we allow the Word of God to be authoritative in our lives, we’ll align with God’s view of human life. God is pro-life.
