The Bible teaches us that God specifically creates every person in the mother’s womb, not in heaven.
While some people like to think that babies are angels in heaven before they are born, the Bible never says this. In fact, the Bible tells us that angels and humans are different creations and not at all related. People also don’t become angels after they die.
It’s a miracle that God can create little babies that are born and grow up into people! We can’t see or understand how God gives them a soul and a spirit, but they don’t live in heaven before they are born.
Bible Truth
- “For you [God] created my inmost being; you knit [specially formed] me together in my mother’s womb” (Psalm 139:13).
- “…what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him? You made him a little lower than the heavenly beings [angels] and crowned him with glory and honor” (Psalm 8:4-5).
