Does this passage mean that our spirit is older than our earthly body? Did God know us before we were born?
Does our birthday only describe the age of our body and not soul?
Ephesians 1:4
ESV - 4 Even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love

God is timeless and unchanging. He is literally outside of time. So He knows us before we even exist to be known.
