What does the Bible say about welcome a new baby?
Bible Topic · WEB
The Bible teaches that a new baby is a precious gift from God, known and formed by him, to be received with joyful gratitude, prayer, and faithful care. Psalm 127:3 calls children a heritage from the Lord, while James 1:17 reminds parents that every good gift comes from the Father. Jeremiah 1:5 and Psalm 139:13 testify to God’s personal knowledge and creative care from the womb. Like Hannah in 1 Samuel 1:27, families may thank God for the child entrusted to them. Parents are called to nurture children in wisdom and faith, trusting God’s sovereign purposes for their lives.
