Why Would God Allow It?

We often ask an ageless question: "Why does God allow evil to happen in the world?" Some are genuine in their enquiry, and others are skeptics that rather see God as uncaring. One of those topics in this age that might draw such controversy would be attributed to abortion. After all, why is it that the Creator of the universe can allow such atrocities to be committed such as an unborn baby having it's life taken. While I'm not here to answer the question, I am here to suggest that God cares even more than you might realize. We live in an evil generation. Many people, believer and unbelievers, don't even want to raise children in this world due to how evil and corrupt it has become. For some, that might be the justification for abortion, which is quite a warped viewpoint –doing an evil deed to keep another from evil? However, let's switch over to God's point of view that is above our own. Ecclesiastes 12:7 says, "Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it." From this we can understand that those unborn babies might be taken from this world, but returned back to God that gave them life to begin. It isn't a simple or easy thought to grasp, but what if God only allows it because He STILL gets the glory?



Someone may commit murder of an unborn child thinking they can spare them from living in an evil world, but it's truly God that spares that child from living in a world that could corrupt their soul. God receives the glory because not even death can snatch those children out of His loving hands. Some in this age even have gone to the point of boasting in their abortions. There will come one day that those will bow their knee in shame. But I submit to you that Jesus still stands in His throne room and says  “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”
