Each human being has been separately planned by God before conception, with their entire development, including all days, written in God's Book long ago. The Bible and science show that a growing child in the womb is a true human being, distinctively human from the moment of conception. Those saved and written in the book of life are predestined to be conformed to the image of God's Son in the ages to come.

Welcome to the Days of Praise podcast, a daily devotional by the Institute for Creation Research. The Unperfect Substance. Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect, and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them. Psalm one thirty nine sixteen. This is an amazing verse.
Testifying as it does to the omniscient foreplanning of our Creator for each human being. Each person has been separately planned by God before he or she was ever conceived. His eyes oversaw our unperfect, not imperfect, but unfinished substance. That is, literally, our embryo throughout its entire development. not only all its members, but also all its days, the literal implication of in continuance, had been written in God's Book long ago.
While modern evolutionists argue that a fetus is not yet a real person and so may be casually aborted if the mother so chooses, both the Bible and science show that a growing child in the womb is a true human being. Instruments called phetoscopes have been able to trace every stage of embryonic development, showing that each is distinctively human, never passing through any non-human evolutionary stages, which the evolutionist theory of recapitulation implies. The baby is completely human from the moment of conception, with all its future days already well known in the mind of God, when as yet there was none of them, as our text points out. But that is not all. All those who are saved and whose names therefore are written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world are also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son in the ages to come.
