"Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee..." Jeremiah 1:5This passage God was talking to Jeremiah but it can be applied to us as well, as if God was talking not just to Jeremiah but to us individually.
For many faiths the life after earth and the life before earth is unknown and most likely looked over. Though there arises questions and assumptions of these very trivial questions they are not suggested a means of a factual answer.
Mormons, members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints do indeed believe with understanding of these questions that are left unanswered to other denominations. Our understanding comes from the verses contained within the Book of Mormon relating to this topic as well as in the Bible.
This verse here in Jeremiah gives us this understanding of our life before we came to earth to live. Just as God told Jeremiah that he knew him before Jeremiah entered the womb it also goes for each of us that God knew us before we came to earth. This here helps us to know that before this life we knew God and lived with him for he has told us. Our Spirit, part of the element that makes up our soul when joined with our body of flesh and bones, lived before and continues even after this life.
