From the Old Testament, an observation by King Solomon, arguably the wisest and richest man who has ever lived. Psalm 127:3 Living Bible (TLB) 3 Children are a gift from God; they are his reward.
From the New Testament, a teaching by Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior Mark 9:36-37 New International Version (NIV) 36 He took a little child whom he placed among them. Taking the child in his arms, he said to them, 37 “Whoever welcomes one of these little children in my name welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me does not welcome me but the one who sent me.”
Answer this question before you read any further: what was the number one cause of death worldwide in 2018?
Its 41.9 million total eclipsed cancer, HIV/Aids, and smoking (non-cancer) combined! People exposed to it had 100% certainty of dying. It took out 23% of all humans in a particular age group.
Worldwide deaths reached 59 million excluding this one cause. Adding it to the total means 100.9 people died altogether. The number one cause resulted in almost 42% of all deaths. (These statistics originated from the World Health Organization.)
The answer is abortion, the killing of our unborn children. Do you think God views this practice as acceptable? How do you think He feels about our failure to prevent it?
