God approved abortion

"Then when lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and when sin is accomplished, it brings forth death."--James 1:15. James comparing the process of sin to that of the birth of a child. Sin is what is born but it is lust that conceives. But if we do something about it immediately, this is God approved abortion.

**Before I begin, this devo is another one that is loosely based on another sermon I heard originally delivered by my friend and brother in Christ, Lyle Sinkey.**

God approved abortion. Sin begins with a temptation. A temptation is a result of our lust for something that may otherwise be sinful if we follow through with it. We must abort the fetus of sin at this stage. This is God approved abortion.

God approved abortion. Lust gives birth to sin. At this point, sin is essentially just a baby. Maybe this is the stage where we will dabble in a particular sin. After all doing this once or twice couldn't hurt, right? WRONG! At this stage it is an absolute must to get rid of the sin. This is God approved abortion.

God approved abortion. After sin has grown up and become an "adult," it is at this stage that the sin becomes harder to get rid of. By this point, you may be de-sensitized to the effects this sin is having on your life and most importantly the impact it is having on your relationship with God. It is not necesssarily too late at this point but it is much more difficult to get rid of the sin but it must be done. This is God approved abortion.

God approved abortion. We know that abortion is the destruction of a human life. Abortion in it's truest sense is something no Christian should EVER condone. But the destruction of sin is also the abortion of life. It is the destruction of the evil life sin creates within us. This is something that every Christian SHOULD seek destroy by the grace of God and His Son Jesus Christ. This is God approved abortion.

God approved abortion. Sin's final form is death. If we fail to take care of sin during it's "life," God will destroy it along with our souls bringing the same death brought about in the garden in Genesis 3. This too is God approved abortion.

God approved abortion. Make an effort now to get rid of that sin in your life. Do this by removing that which causes you to sin. This is God approved abortion.

DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! PRAY ABOUT IT! LOVE Y'ALL! GOD BLESS!
