It get’s worse.
Luke 21:25 “Natural disaster will be overwhelming.” But also, “take heart! [Because He] has overcome the world.” John 16:33
A clear design pre-fall.
Gen. 1:27 “male and female He created them.”
Gen. 2:24 “a man leaves his father and mother, and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh.”
A clear endorsement post-fall.
Matt. 19:1-12, Jesus said “Let no man separate what God has joined together.”
An odd interaction.
Luke 11:27-28 “On the contrary, this isn’t about you (or me), It’s about following Jesus.”
A surprising reaction.
Matt. 25:14-30 “Steward well what the Lord gives you.”
*Relevant (but not supreme) in discussing Open / Closed Borders
A huge warning and a bigger acknowledgment.
Mark 4:19 “Don’t miss God’s Word because of distractions.”
Matt. 22:21 “Pay what you must, but frankly the rest is Gods.”
Who is the hero in the story and what is the goal?
Matt. 6:1-4 “Do justice. Just don’t do it for attention.”
2 Cor. 5:18-21 “Reconciled to Himself.” In lieu of “to one another.”
The two are the same conversation.
Psalm 139:13-14 “Life is precious and we are created by a creator.”
Note: While Jesus does not talk explicitly about abortion, His entire ministry was not only pro-life, but “life to the full.”
A promise and a push.
Matt. 7:7-12 “You’ve been made an heir, now go roll out the red carpet for people!”
A blueprint is given.
John 13:1-17 “Do as I do and you will be blessed.”
