The Importance of Being (your name)…
God began creating with consistency and a method of orderliness. God’s creative power was done with a design in mind. He began with the ‘big’ picture and ultimately ended with the smallest detail…people.
(KJV) Genesis 1:6-8 “And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
7And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
8And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.”
It was God Who formed the galaxies, their complexities and their unique beauty.
It was God Who had you in mind before He began creating creation. Isn’t that amazing?!
He had you in mind before He created anything!
(NASB) Ephesians 1:3-4 “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,
4 just as He chose us in Him before the foundation (creation) of the world…”
You are important to God. Probably you have never had national or international fame. If you have, there are special challenges which you have faced which most people would never have a clue.
No matter your “station” or “class” in life – you were chosen before the creation of the world by the Creator.
If anyone ignores or rejects God the Son (the Lord Jesus Christ) as their Savior…they are insulting and discrediting God!
Yet, haven’t all people done that very thing? Until the followers of Christ received Jesus as their Savior, we too, have been guilty!
Once anyone asks Jesus to be their Savior, to believe that He died in their place for the wrong things they do (and all do wrong things and come short of God’s glory – see Romans 3:23).
God, the Creator God, forgives those wrongs. He forgives the wrongs of ignoring and rejecting Him. He forgives the insults and the discrediting of Him. It is His mercy, His grace, His foreknowledge which was and is alive and active through His Son for you! However, you need to ask His forgiveness and accept Christ as your Savior.
The Importance of Being (your name)…to God.
How are you responding to such a great salvation?
