Made In His Image

AMAC magazine had a great article entitled The Image Of God; A Biblical Case for the Sanctity of Life, by David P. Deafen.

Deafen brought out the greatest point I have ever heard concerning abortion. He points out that God put great emphasis on life. When Cain killed his brother Abel in the first ever murder, God still protected Cain. Why? Because Cain was made in His, God’s image. Remember how God created man last and proclaimed that it was “very good”? Man, the crowning glory of God’s creation!

Amazingly God did not require us to die for our own sin, but allowed the death of an animal in our place. Only after the flood did God allow for Capital Punishment, Gen 9:6.

The article makes the point that murder in any form is against God because it effaces God’s visible image, which is man.

As God knew David in his mother’s womb Ps 149:13, other male babies are mentioned in scripture: Jacob in the womb grabbing his brothers heel. Moses, an infant in the basket. Samson, Samuel, Jeremiah, John and Jesus. Does God see infants in the womb and knows them intimately? It appears so!

Deavel says, “No mere clump of cells, this prophet cries out even in his mother’s womb, preparing the way for the Savior, whose blessedness John detects even in  Jesus’ mother’s voice.”

“The Holy One of God and his forerunner are identified as holy in the womb so we might know the holiness of every human life, at whatever stage.”

Babies ARE humans at conception, made in the image of God!

Blessings
