Bible Question:
We had once discussed about organs donation in a cell group gathering. One or two of us expressed that they would limit their donations to those patients who were not smokers, drugs users, drunkards, etc. Should christians limit the donation with those conditions? Any biblical view on that? Thanks. Shalom Azure |
Bible Answer: Dear Azure, Matthew 7:12 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets. I would also direct you to Romans chapter 12 for the application of brotherly love and not thinking to highly of ourselves, that those in the condition you have mentioned are any less in need of grace than you or I. A personal thought, the actual deed of donating an organ is yours and a charitable God looks upon charity favorably. How the recipient chooses to take full benefit of possibly a second chance is between the recipient and God. A donor has done the right thing in giving. That’s just a personal thought at a glance. I’m sure there are many factors that one could take into consideration. We all need grace, stand in His, WOS |
