The biblical concept of the sanctity of life is rooted in the idea that human life is sacred and created in the image of God (Genesis 1:27). This fundamental principle is reinforced throughout the Bible, as seen in verses such as Psalms 139:13-14, which describes God's intimate involvement in the formation of human life, and Jeremiah 1:5, which highlights God's knowledge and plans for individuals even before birth. The sanctity of life is also underscored in the New Testament, where Jesus teaches that children are precious to God and should be valued and protected (Matthew 18:10). Ultimately, the Bible presents human life as a precious gift from God, worthy of respect, care, and protection, as emphasized in Psalms 23:1, where God is described as the shepherd who guides and cares for His people.
