What does the Bible say about God's knowledge of us before birth?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible states that God knew us before we were formed in the womb, as seen in Jeremiah 1:5.

Jeremiah 1:5 provides a profound insight into God's intimate knowledge of His elect, saying, 'Before I formed thee in the belly, I knew thee.' This passage reveals that God's foreknowledge is not based on our future actions but is rooted in His sovereign prerogative. He knew us in a relational sense, setting His heart on us before our creation, indicating a covenantal relationship that transcends time and existence.
