God is love and life and light and in him there is no darkness. God has given humankind the blessing of participating in the creation of life. In our rebellion against the author of life, we have produced death. One of the most dramatic and obvious ways this rebellion manifests itself is when humans enter the womb to end life. The womb is one of the most awe inspiring of all God’s creation. Christians, on board with God’s agenda, will celebrate life, encourage others to do so, and strive to protect the womb from evil.
