Date: January 12, 2025
Sub Theme: Concept of Child – 2
Topic: Biblical Concept of a Child – (1)
Text: Genesis 25:21-26

Aims

  1. To explain the biblical concept of a child as a baby in the womb.
  2. To discuss the biblical injunction on abortion.
  3. To discuss the care of the baby in the womb.

Introduction

The biblical doctrine of life is that life begins at conception (Psalm 139:13-16). Thus, the biblical meaning of a child is a human being between the stages of conception (baby in the womb) and puberty. In our text, the Lord opened the womb of Rebecca, and she conceived two children of promise, representing two nations in her womb. Scripture affirms that all human life has been created by God and in the image of God. This means that every child in the womb is a product of God’s work (Isaiah 44:2, Ecclesiastes 11:5).

The child in the womb is a universal symbol of future potentiality, which is why he/she needs special care, nurture, and utter dependence on his/her mother for growth and survival. Today’s study should inspire you to value every child in the womb and to treat the child in the womb with the utmost care.

Conclusion

Throughout Scripture, God affirms the value of every human life—from children in the womb to the elderly. Therefore, every human life in the womb should be appreciated and not destroyed because the child in the womb represents incredible power, vitality, persistence toward growth, and hope for the world.

Food for Thought

Every human life in the womb is of great value.
