GOD’S CONCERN FOR SEX SLAVES
GOD KNOWS AND CARES about everything that is done to those who are trafficked for sex. Even when no one else is paying attention, God sees their plight. On the other hand, if those who enslave others do not repent, they will face God’s perfect justice on the last day.
Whoever steals a man and sells him, and anyone found in possession of him, shall be put to death.
EXODUS 21:16
[God] has pity on the weak and the needy, and saves the lives of the needy. From oppression and violence he redeems their life, and precious is their blood in his sight.
PSALM 72:13-14
[God] will judge the world in righteousness, and the peoples in his faithfulness.
PSALM 96:13
