Message To Legislators
We have a consistent and clear 6-part message. Here is the message we must communicate in love to our local representatives.
1. COMMUNICATE THE HUMANITY OF THE UNBORN CHILD AS MADE IN THE IMAGE OF GOD.
The basis for protecting unborn children lies in the Biblical reality that they are human beings made in the image of God. If the child in the womb is human, then they must be protected by law (Genesis 1:27, Genesis 5:1-2, Genesis 9:6, Genesis 25:22, Psalm 8:3-8, Psalm 139:13-16, Luke 1:15, Luke 1:41, 1 Corinthians 11:7, James 3:9)
2. ABORTION IS MURDER
It is a violation of God’s law and he commands us not to murder. The premeditated killing of another human being with malice of forethought is murder. Murder is a crime under the law of God and must be legislated against in order to protect the innocent (Genesis 25:22, Exodus 20:13, Leviticus 24:17, Numbers 35:31 Deuteronomy 5:17, Amos 1:15, Matthew 5:21, Matthew 15:19, Romans 1:29).
3. THE ROLE OF MAGISTRATES
The basis for protecting unborn children lies in the Biblical reality that they are human beings made in the image of God. If the child in the womb is human, then they must be protected by law (Genesis 1:27, Genesis 5:1-2, Genesis 9:6, Genesis 25:22, Psalm 8:3-8, Psalm 139:13-16, Luke 1:15, Luke 1:41, 1 Corinthians 11:7, James 3:9)
4. ROE V WADE
The necessity for lesser magistrates to ignore/defy an opinion from the Supreme Court that is not law. Our original system of government, according to the Constitution, states that only Congress has the authority to make law. Therefore, Roe V Wade is not a law. It was a federal ruling based on the false premise that unborn children are “potential human beings.” The overwhelming testimony of Scripture and biological science states otherwise and so Roe must be ignored and defied by local government to protect all of its citizens. When a nation has rebelled against God and his commands, we must obey God rather than men ( Ezekiel 22:30-31, Acts 5:29).
5. NATIONAL JUDGMENT
The shedding of innocent blood brings judgment upon the nation that commits the act. God hates the hands that shed innocent blood. Abortion is the sacrifice of children in the womb as a result of the sinfulness of the human heart. (Lev 18:21; 20:2, 3, 4, 5; 1 Kgs 11:7; 2 Kgs 23:10; Proverbs 6:16-19, Jer 32:35).
6. SANCTUARY CITY
Demand that your legislators make your city/state a safe place for the unborn. Demanding that local government defy the federal judiciary and create a safe haven for children is a practical step local churches can take to stem the tide of the shedding of innocent blood. While it is not the only way, or setting, ministering before city councils is a way to instruct magistrates on their duty to preserve innocent life within their jurisdiction.
