Psalm 139:14-16 God, the Creator of Life The Scriptures answer the important question: What is the origin of life? God is the creator of life. In the case of man, the Bible specifically states, And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul (Gen.2:7). Yes, God is the creator of life, and each time a child is conceived in the womb, it is more than merely a biological happening. Not only did the hand of God form the first man, but His hand likewise forms every life that appears within the womb. The Hebrew word for form describes a hands-on, creative work; this term was also used during Bible times when referring to a potter who molds clay with his hands as it spins upon the wheel. In todays text, the psalmist David gives a detailed depiction of God forming his body within the womb of his mother. A careful study of these verses indicates that the Lord has a record of each individuals genetic code. The formation of every persons distinct characteristics is not a matter of chance. Of even greater intrigue and moral implication is Jeremiah 1:5, where the Lord disclosed to Jeremiah that his purpose for the prophets life was predetermined before God had even created him in the womb. God is the creator of life! The ramifications are self-evident. Each human life is formed by the hand of God with purpose. Destroying that within the womb which being formed by the hand of God is an act of grave consequence-to the murderer, but also to society in general. Humanity is robbed of many whom God ordained for a life that would benefit other people, or even nations! God is the creator of life! JMC
