You were no accident!

“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you...” (Jer. 1:5 ESV)

You were planned!

Before you were born, God knew you! In fact, He created you to be unique with purpose. Look at the following Bible passages which explain that He creates each person that He makes with purpose, including you!

“And now the Lord says, he who formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob back to him; and that Israel might be gathered to him— for I am honored in the eyes of the Lord, and my God has become my strength” (Isa. 49:5 ESV)

“Listen to me, O coastlands, and give attention, you peoples from afar. The Lord called me from the womb, from the body of my mother he named my name.” (Isa. 49:1 ESV)

“O Lord, you have searched me and known me! You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from afar. You search out my path and my lying down and are acquainted with all my ways. Even before a word is on my tongue, behold, O Lord, you know it altogether. You hem me in, behind and before, and lay your hand upon me.” (Psalms 139:1-5)

“But when he who had set me apart before I was born, and who called me by his grace,” (Gal. 1:15 ESV) 

“For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.” (Rom. 8:29 ESV)

“For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them.” (Psalm 139:13-16 ESV)

“Thus says the Lord who made you, who formed you from the womb and will help you: Fear not, O Jacob my servant, Jeshurun whom I have chosen.” (Isa. 44:2 ESV)

Therefore

“Even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love.” (Eph. 1:4 ESV)
