Won’t You Be My Neighbor? – Changing the Way We Think and Act about Abortion

Being a neighbor seemed important to Jesus. According to Him, the second greatest commandment ever given is “Love your neighbor as yourself.” The only thing greater than this is “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength” (Mark 12:28-31).

Broken Walls

Christians say it too. “I’m personally opposed to abortion, but …” A lack of understanding of what abortion is and what abortion does leads to such thinking. One of the reasons for the lack of understanding is that many in the Church whitewash the truth about abortion. Some do it actively and whitewash abortion with religiously nice sounding words. Others do it passively and whitewash abortion with religious silence.

I think we can see from this example just how important it is that the Biblical understanding of life and its origin be the foundation of our understanding of the sacredness of life.

Biblical Manhood And Womanhood

Human beings are unique. Humans are not physical replicas of God, not part of God or independent from God, but in relationship with God. God gave humans the responsibility to act out this partnership in a way that reflects the glory of God (Hebrews 2:7). God created two distinct human beings-male and female. They are not like the animals that they rule, but stamped with the divine image of God. Although the divine image is lost (Genesis 3), their original position in creation gives humans special dignity (Psalm 8).
