when I was made in the secret place,
when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.

all the days ordained for me were written in your book
before one of them came to be.” Psalm 139:13-16 NIV

When Does life Begin for God?
As shown above in Jeremiah. 1:4-5 & Psalm 139:16, Life starts even before conception. Conception will not occur if it was not God’s will. Even when the means of conception is bad. Think about the dreams God gave to Joseph. His brothers, through their wickedness wanted to hinder them. But God turned it for good. (Gen. 50:20)
