Unbornloves the

GOD'S VIEW ON LIFE
The Almighty God Himself refers to the unborn as
literal human beings. In His own words, He stated that the
virgin Mary "...was found with child of the Holy Ghost."
(Matthew 1:18) This verse refers to Jesus Christ when He
was still in Mary's womb.
When speaking of the unborn baby, John, the Bible
states, "...the babe leaped in her womb..." (Luke 1:41)
Refusing a helpless baby the right to be born is murder
and is therefore against God's will. Proverbs 6:16-17
states, "These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are
an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and
hands that shed innocent blood..."

THE CHOICE FOR LIFE!
Friend, did you know that God's Holy Word speaks of
others who are unborn in a di erent kind of way?
However, these can choose to be born or not. In the Bible,
Jesus explained this to a very moral and religious man
named Nicodemus. "Jesus answered and said unto him,
Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he
cannot see the kingdom of God." (John 3:3) Thinking that
Jesus was talking about a physical birth, "Nicodemus saith
unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he
enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?"
(John 3:4) Jesus' answer was that a man must have a
second birth--a spiritual birth--to enter into the Kingdom
of God. "...Except a man be born of water (from the
mother's womb) and of the Spirit (from the Word of God),
he cannot enter into the kingdom of God." (John 3:5) Jesus
did not use the word "water" in this context to refer to
baptism; instead, He is speaking of the physical birth.
Jesus rea rms this meaning in verse six, when He said,
"That which is born of the esh is esh (Physical Birth); and

that which is born of the Spirit is spirit (Spiritual Birth)."
WHY A SECOND BIRTH?

According to the Bible, God said that Adam, the rst
man, would die the very day that he ate the fruit of the
tree of knowledge of good and evil. God warned Adam,
"...in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die."
(Genesis 2:17) Adam did not die a physical death that day.
His death was a spiritual death, which passed upon all
mankind. "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the
world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men,
for that all have sinned:" (Romans 5:12) All mankind has
inherited spiritual death from Adam and must be "born
again" to have spiritual life.

GOD LOVES THE UNBORN!
Jesus told Nicodemus how to be born spiritually in
John 3:14-15: "...even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have
eternal life." Please notice that only belief in God is
required for spiritual life, and it is nothing you can earn
through doing good works. John 3:16 says, "For God so
loved the world (spiritually unborn), that he gave his only
begotten Son (to die on the cross), that whosoever
believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
God promised those who believe in Him would have
everlasting life, not a probationary life.
If you have never been born again; you are spiritually
unborn; but God loves you, and He has made a way for
you to become His spiritual child. Friend, according to
God's Holy Word, you are a creation of God, but you are
not considered a child of God until you are born of the
Spirit. The only way that you can become a child of God is

by putting your complete faith in Jesus Christ to save
your soul. God makes this very clear in His Holy Word.
"For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus."
(Galatians 3:26) Think of it! The very moment that you
call on Jesus Christ, trusting Him to save your soul, you
are birthed into the Family of God and you are His child
forever! "But as many as received him, to them gave he
power to become the sons of God, even to them that
believe on his name:" (John 1:12)

WHAT IS YOUR CHOICE?
I choose to be born of the Spirit by completely
trusting in Jesus Christ to save my soul forever.
"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus,
and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him
from the dead, thou shalt be saved." (Romans 10:9)
I am content with being born once, and choose
to remain spiritually unborn. "...he that believeth
not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth
on him." (John 3:36)

If you have decided to trust Jesus Christ as your Saviour
