In a world where the sacredness of life is increasingly challenged, we find ourselves standing at a crossroads, urged to affirm the value of every soul. The recent push for assisted dying legislation demands that we, as followers of Christ, speak out with conviction. We must uphold the dignity of life, especially for the most vulnerable among us. The scriptures serve as our foundation, guiding us in this moral imperative.

The Sanctity of Life

Evidence: Genesis 1:27 (NIV) declares, "So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them."

EVERY LIFE bears the divine fingerprint of God. Each person, regardless of their circumstance, reflects His image. This truth elevates the value of life beyond human judgment or convenience. We must resist any attempt to diminish this inherent worth by endorsing assisted dying. Instead, let us echo the Creator's intent for life to be cherished and protected.

God's Command to Protect the Vulnerable

Evidence: Proverbs 31:8-9 (NIV) instructs, "Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy."

We are CALLED to be the VOICE for the voiceless. Assisted dying targets those who are already vulnerable, suggesting that their lives are less valuable. This notion is not only unbiblical but an affront to God’s command to defend and uplift the needy. Our mission is to provide comfort and care, ensuring that every person knows their life is PRECIOUS and PURPOSEFUL.

Life as a Gift from God

Evidence: Psalm 139:13-14 (NIV) states, "For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well."

Life is a DIVINE GIFT, meticulously crafted by the hands of our Creator. The complexity and beauty of human life reflect God’s marvelous works, deserving of our utmost respect and protection. We must vigilantly oppose any legislation that seeks to undermine this gift, advocating instead for policies that enhance the quality of life for all.

Assisting People to Live, Not Die

Our solution is clear and grounded in compassion: we must dedicate ourselves to ASSISTING PEOPLE TO LIVE, not die. This means investing in healthcare, providing emotional and spiritual support, and ensuring that EVERYONE has the opportunity to experience life in its fullness. As Christians, let us urge our politicians to vote AGAINST assisted dying. If they fail to honor the sanctity of life, we must hold them accountable, akin to spitting out the lukewarm. Our trust belongs with those who uphold God’s truth.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, seeking Your wisdom and strength. Help us to fiercely defend the value of life, especially for those who cannot defend themselves. Empower us to be voices of truth and love, standing firm against the tide of assisted dying. Lord, guide our leaders to make decisions that honor You and protect Your creation. May our actions reflect Your will, as we strive to assist all people to LIVE as You intended. In Jesus' name, we pray, Amen.

Let us rise with courage and conviction, unwavering in our commitment to uphold the sanctity of life. Together, anchored in scripture and faith, we can champion a culture that celebrates life and offers hope to the most vulnerable among us.
