Already Aborted
There is no sin that God will not forgive, except that of not accepting His forgiveness. Your abortion is just one of the sins that nailed Jesus to the cross. Just before He died, Jesus prayed:
"Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing."
Luke 23:34
He wants to forgive you, too:
-
Every woman who has had an abortion
- Every man who has asked a woman to abort their child
- Anyone involved in helping someone else obtain an abortion
- Anyone doing abortions
To enjoy His forgiveness, you must:
-
Admit to yourself and to God that abortion is sin
- Reject abortion as a way out of tough situations in the future
- And ask God for the forgiveness that He is so happy to give
He is eager to:
-
Forgive your sin
- Give you new life, and
- Take away the penalty - eternal death - for sin
In Romans 8:1 God promises:
"Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus."
Likewise, you will not be condemned by those who follow Jesus, because they have been instructed to "be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you" (Ephesians 4:32).
Seek out the followers of Jesus in your community for encouragement in your new life. The
Access Women's Center can help if you need support in overcoming feelings of guilt over a past abortion.
If you are experiencing a problem pregnancy, seek help from someone who will affirm the value of your baby's life.
