Jeremiah 1:5 (YNG), “Before I form thee in the belly (mother’s womb or uterus), I have known thee; and before thou comest forth from the womb I have separated thee, a prophet to nations I have made thee.”
How is this possible?
Let’s say hypothetically my existence does not depend on time because I am not time-dependent. I also created a world and time was integrated into it. I still exist outside of time and have always existed because time is irrelevant to my existence and nature. Therefore, I know whoever exists in time. Those who were born into time are time-dependent. In this hypothetical example, I am not.
God the Father is also the father of our spirits, Heb. 12:9. He does not exist in time either. John says in John 1:1, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” In Christ, we also were in the beginning, Eph. 1:4. If my identity is hid in Christ by His grace, faith and revelation of Him in me, Col. 3:3, and the truth is in Jesus, Eph. 4:21, and truth is not relative to time either, then in Christ, I am meaning I have always been and always will be. Christ is my elder brother.
