Christian's Belief in the Sanctity of Human Life

As Christians we believe that each person is created by God and all

human life is a gift from God. Therefore, human life is sacred,

something that has to be protected and preserved, something that only

God alone can take away from us. This belief is not just supported by

Christians but by people of all religious races and cultures. We

believe that human life must always be sacred even before we are born.

This is stated numerous times throughout the bible.

“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you came to birth

I consecrated you, I have appointed you as prophet to the nations.”

Jeremiah 1:8

God has mapped out our lives even before our conception. He has chosen

what we will do. He knows us even before we are born. Therefore it is

not for us to end a new life because God may have great plans for that

person.

“God created man in the image of himself, in the image of God he

created him, male and female he created them.” Genesis

This quote from the bible tells us that we are all created in the eyes

of God. Everyone is a unique individual. The quote explains how God

created life so therefore he can only take life.

As Christians we believe that life in the womb starts at the moment of

conception. Just because a baby does not have all of the thinking and

human physical features at the beginning doesn’t mean it is not a

human being. Every unborn child is a unique individual. We Christians

believe that all human life from the moment of conception is something

to be cherished and thankful for. It is a precious gift from God that

must be looked upon as a blessing.

It is not just at the beginning that we should respect life but at the

end too. The killing of someone at the end of his or her life is just

the same as killing the baby within the womb.
