Sermon, Why We Must End Abortion NOW, And Who is My Neighbor? Am I my brother's keeper? What responsibilities do I have to my brother? Aside from the obvious responsibility to not harm my brother, I have the responsibility to Deal Faithfully in regard to Physical Intimacy, to Wait Until Marriage and Bring Up Children Only in Marriage, to Defend My Brother from physical danger.
OPENING PASSAGE Psalm 139.
As an image bearer of God, I realize that I am my brother's keeper.
Genesis 1:27 – "God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them."
Am I my brother’s keeper? Genesis 4:1-10.
1. I Have a Responsibility to Deal Faithfully in regard to Physical Intimacy.
1 Timothy 5:12 - "[Rebuke] elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with all purity."
Job 31:1 – "I have made a covenant with my eyes; Why then should I look upon a young woman"?
1 Corinthians 6:9-10 – "Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God."
2. I Have a Responsibility to Wait Until Marriage and Bring Up Children Only in Marriage
Exodus 22:16-17 - "If a man entices a virgin who is not betrothed, and lies with her, he shall surely pay the bride-price for her to be his wife. If her father utterly refuses to give her to him, he shall pay money according to the bride-price of virgins."
Malachi 2:15 - "But did He not make them one, Having a remnant of the Spirit? And why one? He seeks godly offspring. Therefore take heed to your spirit, And let none deal treacherously with the wife of his youth."
3. I have a Responsibility to Defend My Brother.
Deuteronomy 22:23-24 – "If a young woman who is a virgin is betrothed to a husband, and a man finds her in the city and lies with her, then you shall bring them both out to the gate of that city, and you shall stone them to death with stones, the young woman because she did not cry out in the city, and the man because he humbled his neighbor’s wife; so you shall put away the evil from among you."
Deuteronomy 21:6-9 – "And all the elders of that city nearest to the slain man shall wash their hands over the heifer whose neck was broken in the valley. Then they shall answer and say, 'Our hands have not shed this blood, nor have our eyes seen it. Provide atonement, O LORD, for Your people Israel, whom You have redeemed, and do not lay innocent blood to the charge of Your people Israel.' And atonement shall be provided on their behalf for the blood. So you shall put away the guilt of innocent blood from among you when you do what is right in the sight of the LORD."
Proverbs 24:11-12 - "Rescue those being led away to death; hold back those staggering toward slaughter. If you say, ‘But we knew nothing about this,’ Does not he who weighs the heart perceive it? Does not he who guards your life know it? Will he not repay everyone according to what they have done?" (NIV)
