The Bible teaches that God knew us intimately before we were formed in the womb (Jeremiah 1:5).
In Jeremiah 1:5, it is written, 'Before I formed thee in the belly, I knew thee.' This profound statement illustrates God's intimate knowledge of His people, signifying that He has a purposeful relationship with each individual even before their conception. This knowledge is not merely intellectual; it implies a deep, personal connection that assures believers of their significance in God's redemptive plan. Moreover, Psalm 139:13-14 further confirms this by stating, 'For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb. I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.' This encompassing knowledge of God brings comfort and assurance that we are valued and known by our Creator.
