How do we know the doctrine of human personhood is true?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible explicitly affirms personhood exists before birth, supporting the belief that life begins at conception.

Biblical doctrine affirms that personhood begins before birth, as illustrated by Jeremiah 1:4-5, where God states, 'Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you.' This teaches that individuals are known and loved by God even before they are born. The Psalmist's reflection in Psalm 139 details God's active role in segmenting and fashioning us within the womb, underscoring the belief in the inherent worth of every human being from conception to death. The continuity of the personhood narrative in Scripture solidifies the doctrine that human life possesses intrinsic value.
