The first chapter of Ephesians tell us that "…he hath chosen us before the foundation of the world…"

Understand that you were chosen, and you were destined, before this world was created! But not only were you chosen, you were chosen IN HIM!   Jeremiah 1:5 says that before God formed you, He knew you. The hebrew word for ‘knew’ is the word yaw-dah. It means to perceive, or to be acquainted with. God not only perceived you, He was acquainted with you before He formed you!
