TOPIC: Abortion Is Deadly (Open Heaven for Teens 17 April 2024)
MEMORISE: Thou shalt not kill. Exodus 20:13
READ: Psalms 127:3-5
3 Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
4 As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.
5 Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.
MESSAGE
The Bible teaches us that human life is sacred and valuable, as it is created in the image of God (Genesis 1:27). Abortion is taking the life of an innocent and precious unborn child.
Today’s Bible reading highlights the preciousness and value of every life, even at the earliest stage of development. Also, today’s memory verse says, “You shall not murder.” This commandment applies to an unborn child just as it does to every other human being. By taking the life of an innocent child, you are going against the will of God and disregarding the value and sanctity of human life.
There are many dangers inherent in abortion. First, a perpetrator becomes alienated from God, leaving him or her open to attacks from the devil and his cohorts. Secondly, a lady who aborts a pregnancy is at risk of losing her life or reproductive organs. If such a lady loses her life in the process of getting an abortion, the probability of getting to heaven is very slim, and if her reproductive organs get destroyed in the process, she might not be able to give birth again.
Beloved, it is better to avoid premarital sex than to find yourself in the position of considering having an abortion.
KEY POINT
Anyone who carries out an abortion is a murderer.
HYMN 3 – Draw Me Nearer
1 I am Thine, O Lord, I have heard Thy voice,
And it told Thy love to me;
But I long to rise in the arms of faith,
And be closer drawn to Thee.
CHORUS:
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,
To the cross where Thou hast died;
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,
To Thy precious, bleeding side.
2 Consecrate me now to Thy service, Lord,
By the pow’r of grace divine;
Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope,
And my will be lost in Thine.
3 Oh, the pure delight of a single hour
That before Thy throne I spend,
When I kneel in prayer, and with Thee, my God,
I commune as friend with friend!
4 There are depths of love that I cannot know
Till I cross the narrow sea;
There are heights of joy that I may not reach
Till I rest in peace with Thee
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Joshua 15:1-63 Luke 18:18-43
