"For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be." Psalm 139: 13-16
Does life begin at conception or does it begin at birth? People debate the two sides of this argument daily. But in the long run, the only answer, the one that matters, comes from God. Humans are made to reflect the majesty of who God is; only humans reflect the real true glory of God. This passage from Psalms 139 shows us that the structure and the meaning of a person's life are all established right from the beginning by God in the womb.
"Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me." Psalms 51:5
God starts out at conception to develop a human being. So yes even our sinfulness begins with conception. But God loves us even as that little cell at conception and he loves us now. ALL life is important to God. So much so that it is He wants all of us to live with Him forever.
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16
