Ok – so there are various things to discuss:
Firstly, all human beings are created by God in “the image of God”, which suggests that we reflect something of God and that makes us special.
Secondly, Paul talks about our bodies being a “temple of the Holy Spirit”, which suggests that God lives in us in some way.
Thirdly, in the Psalms it says: “You created every part of me; you put together in my mother’s womb… when I was growing there in secret you knew that I was there.”
Psalm 139:13-16
HTH…
