From Genesis to Revelation, God reveals Himself in His Word, the Bible, as the God of life. God is the Creator of life, the Sustainer of life, the Supplier of eternal life, and the Judge of all life. God also reveals Satan as the destroyer of life. In Genesis, we see that Satan is the destroyer of life and the one who influenced Adam and Eve to introduce death into God’s creation. God is the Eternal One who is the only one who can give us temporal humans eternal life. God is the Holy One who alone can make sinners like us holy to have a relationship with Him. God is the Righteous One who can give us His righteousness through His Son as our Saviour to make us right with Him. God is the originator of life. God is the giver of life. God is the ultimate authority over life and, therefore, will be the Judge of us all for the life we have lived, with or without Him. Human life should be respected, valued, and protected above all other life forms because mankind is the only life form declared to have been created in the image of God. The Bible clearly describes life in the womb as possessing identity and value declared by God. Science has finally caught up to the Bible in identifying life as life from conception. Even though the Supreme Court reversed the Roe decision of 1973 with the Dobbs decision of 2022, there have been an increase of abortions nationwide. With the Biden administration changing history in allowing abortion drugs to be dispensed by mail without seeing a doctor personally, even into states with new restrictive abortion laws, the number of abortions continue to rise nationwide. Very liberal states like California are even having legislation allowing born babies to die after birth if the parent doesn’t want to continue with the life of the child. Satan is the author of death and the destruction of life as are many in liberal politics today. God is the author of life and all who seek to honor God will also support the value of human life. God will judge those who destroy life unless they repent of their sin just like the solution to every other sin we commit against God. God sent His Son to cleanse us of our sins if we will trust in Him by faith. When we are born into God’s family, we should value what God values, and God values human life in every stage and in every condition. I hope we will all support Next Step in prayer and in finances. I also pray we will all support life in who we vote for and in our communications with elected officials.

Sadly, even among churches that call themselves biblical churches, Bible believing churches, even a few fundamental independent Baptist churches, there are churches who are following the teaching of replacement theology in the idea that the church today replaces the promises to…
