Six Biblical Reasons That Life Begins at Conception

First, Psalm 51:5 says that we are sinful from our mother’s womb.  Only a living person can be sinful. 

Second, the prophets Isaiah and Jeremiah both say that they were called to the ministry of prophecy from their mothers’ wombs.  Only a living person can be called to a ministry. 

Third, Luke 1:15 says that John the Baptist was filled with the Holy Spirit inside his mother’s womb.  Only a living person can be filled with the Holy Spirit. 

Fourth, Psalm 139:16 says that God plans out all the days of your life before you are born.  To kill the unborn is to interfere with God’s plan for that child. 

Fifth, the Greek word for children in Luke 18 is brephos, when Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me….”  That same word is used in Luke 1:41 to describe Elizabeth’s unborn child, John the Baptist, who leaped inside of her. 

Sixth, in Exodus 21 the law of Moses said that if a two men were fighting, and a man accidentally hits a pregnant woman and kills the unborn baby, then that man is guilty of murder and must be executed (Ex 21:22-25).
