Abortion has become one of the highly debated topics in our generation. Governmental laws are being used to challenge the law of God. This is a sign of the end of the world. It’s time to use pro-life Bible verses as inspiration and directives for living the life of a true Christian.

As this world keeps on advancing in knowledge and technology, the fear of the Lord is also gradually diminishing from the hearts of men —hence making them heartless to innocent babies. It is the responsibility of every true Christian to stand against abortion. I believe by reading these pro-life Bible verses, we can better understand why God detests the shedding of innocent blood.

If you are looking for pro-life Bible verses to beef up your faith in Christ Jesus —then I have several of them for you here. Just pay a little attention to what I’m talking about…

Societies around the world are now being pressured to accept abortion as a part of human rights. The law is gradually replacing the BIBLE. Oh, Christ! Since when did governmental laws start interpreting sacred books for their own benefit?

The fight for pro life has been a bigger challenge in our world today. Just last year we witnessed something disgusting in the middle of Joel Osteen’s Lakewood church services.

Do you remember? Three abortion activists stripped naked in protest against pro life laws. They chanted in desperation to overthrow Roe V. Wade draft in the United States. Why should this be done in the church?

What Does The Bible Says Abortion?

According to the Bible God hates the shedding of innocent blood and abortion is a typical example. He will require the blood from the hands of the sinner. In Proverbs 6:17 it reads that God hates “… hands that shed innocent blood.”

Well, now I believe I have your full attention; be prepared to follow the instructions of God concerning life, birth and how to maintain the fear of the Lord towards His wonderful creation. The Bible says anyone who sheds innocent blood will account for it.

Bible Verses Against Abortion

It should be remembered that the Lord Who made man and woman in His Own image hates abortion. It’s an abomination to shed innocent blood. It is a murder case in the sight of the Lord. May these scriptures about pro life remind you of God’s burning anger against such deliberate sinful acts.

There shall not be found among you anyone who burns his son or his daughter as an offering, anyone who practices divination or tells fortunes or interprets omens, or a sorcerer or a charmer or a medium or a necromancer or one who inquires of the dead, for whoever does these things is an abomination to the LORD. And because of these abominations the LORD your God is driving them out before you.” (Deuteronomy 18:9-12)

38. “Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one’s youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate.” (Psalm 127:3-5)

But the LORD has become my stronghold, and my God the rock of my refuge. He will bring back on them their iniquity and wipe them out for their wickedness; the LORD our God will wipe them out.” (Psalm 94:18-23)

44. “Rescue those who are being taken away to death; hold back those who are stumbling to the slaughter. If you say, ‘Behold, we did not know this,’ does not he who weighs the heart perceive it?

Now, I believe it is clear for everyone who fears the Lord to stay away from abortion, adultery, fornication, murder and all forms of righteousness. These pro-life verses should remind and inspire you to be obedient to the voice of God, not man.

Be reminded that —at the end of the world, we shall all account for every sinful thing we committed here on earth.

If you think the soul or life of a human being is so cheap —then ask yourself why both God and the Devil are after it; It’s priceless! Don’t ever think of taking the life of an unborn child if you fear the Lord. God is watching… Stay Blessed!
