Make America Pro-Life Again

Christians across America have been praying for the incoming administration. Regardless of our personal politics – we have been praying for the leadership of this nation, that they govern with wisdom, integrity, and a heart for the Lord.

This week, you had your new President and Vice President inaugurated in the Capitol. Again, putting party politics aside, because this has nothing to do with who we like or who we do not like – this has entirely to do with living in a Christian nation, living by Christian values, with a Christian moral compass.

So far – the new President has signed an executive order to end state-funded abortion. No more federal dollars will go towards the killing of babies, whether foreign or domestic. For years, the US has been manipulating foreign countries, saying we will give you aid to help yourselves, but first, you must sign up to our progressive ideology. In order to receive this food and medicine, you must agree to allow your citizens to kill their own offspring. This new form of colonialism is coming to an end.

By reinstating the Mexico City Policy and enforcing the Hyde Amendment, the new administration is saying the taxpayer will no longer be paying for infanticide.

Next, the US has affirmed that there is no human right to abortion. The United States has rejoined an international coalition of countries signing a declaration to care for both lives in pregnancy, both the mother and son or daughter. By rejoining the Geneva Consensus Declaration, this country is working towards preventing the emergence of a false ‘human right’ to abortion by customary international law.

After all, our rights come from God, not the state. God gives us a right to life, liberty, and private property. He does not give us the right to kill. In fact, He commands us against it.

Women and babies deserve better. That is finally being recognised.

Next up, in the Executive Order designed to protect women from the harmful extremist gender ideology, the new administration makes it explicit that there are only two genders, male and female, they are biological, and they are the sex we belong to from conception. It is important to stress here, not from birth but from the moment of conception. The US Government now legally recognises personhood from the very beginning, that human beings have rights from the moment they are conceived. And that should extend until our natural death.

Let us hope governments around the world are inspired by America’s actions this week.

This is what we pray for! When we pray for leadership founded in a Christian morality. This is precisely it.

In less than a week, this has already become the most pro-life government in history. We can be thankful that Americans elected Christians to the office of President and Vice President. But most importantly, we should be thankful to God. Thankful that the leaders are looking at His will. Thy will be done. Thankful also that God did not hand America over to its lusts, as He seems to have done with much of Western Europe. This country has a chance, and it will not be made great again through political slogans or great but flawed men – it will be made great again through prayer, praise and thanksgiving to the one true God.

Every Christian should be celebrating these accomplishments. A nation that moves away from death is a nation that moves towards God. Again, despite our personal politics or preferences, all Christians should support the sanctity of life – because we are made in the image of God. All human life is sacred because we are a reflection of our Creator.

And on that note, it is important for us not to gloat. It is in all our best interests that this is happening. A generation of women are being spared from the evils of having abortions pushed upon them. A generation of men and women will hopefully start to move away from the biggest killer of people in the West. But there were people who argued against this, people who voted against this, and we are all able and allowed to make mistakes. The importance is recognising that and learning from it. People who voted for death should repent; People who voted for life should be magnanimous. It affects us all.

So let us continue to pray together for a better future, one rooted in our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. We are all called to advance the Kingdom, let us do that by celebrating life, promoting life, and encouraging our leaders to legislate for life. Because not through man, but only through God, we will make America Great Again.
