What does the Bible say about babies?
The Bible speaks of God’s creation. The book of Genesis describes how God created the world, including men and women. The Bible also shares how we are God’s workmanship (Ephesians 2:10) NIV.
God knew us before we entered our mother’s womb (Jeremiah 1:5). How comforting it is to know that God loves every baby before they are born! we are his.
When you were young, you may have learned the song about Jesus’ love for little children in Sunday school. Remember those songs and other stories about children and remember the Lord’s love for you.
