Before God called Jeremiah, He told him that he was set apart for his prophetic mission. When did this setting apart occur?

  1. Before he was borne ✓
  2. During his youth
  3. In the womb
  4. At his baptism

Explanation

God told Jeremiah that He knew him and chose him for his mission before Jeremiah was even born. God had a plan for Jeremiah from before the beginning of his life.

This was not about being set apart in the womb or during childhood. God’s choosing happened before Jeremiah’s existence began.

This shows that God has purposes for us before we are born and knows us completely.
