To the Editor:

Psalm 51 New International Version (NIV) reads:

5 Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me.

6 Yet you desired faithfulness even in the womb; you taught me wisdom in that secret place.

These two verses suggest that life begins at conception. If you have had an abortion you can ask God to forgive you, and if you are truly sorry for your sin and don’t do it again, He will forgive you.
John 3:3 states, “Jesus answered him, ‘Truly, truly, I tell you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.’” This verse, part of Jesus’ conversation with Nicodemus, emphasizes the need for spiritual rebirth or a new beginning to understand God’s kingdom.

If you have ever watched Sid Roth on You Tube, near the end of each episode he says: “Repeat after me out loud and mean it to the best of your ability. Dear God, I know I have made many mistakes for which I am truly sorry. I believe the Blood of Your Son washes me clean and now that I am clean, Jesus come live inside of me. I make You my Savior and my Lord and I give my life to You.”

You will probably feel different right after you say these words. This is the way to your salvation because God wants a personal intimate relationship with you.

May God bless you all,
