Bible Note: Yes, I agree that Jeremiah was chosen before birth to his calling that he would later realize when the Holy Spirit prompted him to fulfill his calling. God knew that Jeremiah would do this in His foreknowledge. However, Jeremiah still had to cooperate with the Holy Spirit working in his life, and he did- proving to be faithful, carrying out God's purpose. He didn't decide to flee to Nineveh like Jonah did, and for that Jeremiah is to be commended for willingly following the Lord like all who are so called (or elected) should. |
