In His goodness, God chose to create us each. To make us a unique person, put together by His hand and made for a special purpose. This is who we are. Made to know and love God, because God loves us first. (1 John 4:19)

He is the one who gives us skills, talent, knowledge, experience, strength, wisdom and everything we are as a person. He created us and makes us each unique. He alone decides what attributes, personality, characteristics and features we will have. He places us when and where we are and has a specific purpose for us that only we can fill. (2 Corinthians 3:4-5)

Created in His Image

God created humans in His image. We are special to Him. Only humanity was given the likeness of God. We can think, feel, choose, plan, love, reason, comprehend and relate to each other. Animals, plants, insects and all other living things can’t do that. God created humans to have a relationship and purpose in Him. (Genesis 1:27)

Formed by His hand

God chose to create us and give us life. He formed us in the womb. He created every part of us inside and out. Every detail of our being He made perfectly. (Psalm 139:13)

God created our looks, body, personality traits, abilities and talents, and the uniqueness of us. We are each individuals. Not one of us is like others. We are each completely unique. We honor God our creator when we our ourselves and not try to compete or compare ourselves with others. (Psalm 139:14-15, Jeremiah 1:5, Isaiah 44:2, Isaiah 44:24)

God Within Us

God then placed the knowledge of Him within us and gave us the earth as a witness to Him. Creation bears witness to God’s character and nature. We as humans bear witness too. Our bodies are intricate and complex, but organized and can only be made by God. He created all things, nothing exists without Him. (Romans 1:19-20, John 1:3)

He gave us each a soul and a deep need within for Him. We all search and need to worship something. That is God. He is calling us to Himself. He is the only one worth worshipping and worthy of our worship. (Romans 1:25)

Created for Him 

God created humanity to live in and with Him. We were made to fellowship with God and each other. We were made to worship God and have a relationship with Him.

Fellowship 

We can have fellowship with God and others when we have a relationship with God through His Holy Spirit. Fellowship brings us together. We can find support, comfort, love, compassion, hope and commonality through the Christian community when lead by His Spirit. (1 John 1:3, 1 John 1:7)

As believers we are His church. We are one body in Christ. We are brothers and sisters in Him. We are tied together by His Spirit. (1 Corinthians 1:9, Philippians 2:1-2)

Worship 

We Praise and Worship through gratitude to God for everything He does for us. It rightly honors God and keeps our focus on Him, not us or our lives and circumstances or even others and the world around us. It centers our lives around Christ. (Hebrews 12:2)

God alone deserves our worship. He created us and loves us, draws us to Him, provides for us, comforts, strengthens, protects, supports, forgives, and cares for us. (1 Peter 5:10)

Loved by Him

God loves us. God cares about us. He feels for us. He understands us. God created us and deeply loves us. God’s love is deeper, higher and wider than we can ever comprehend. We cannot be separated from His love for us as His children, no matter what happens or where we go or what we do. (Ephesians 3:18, Romans 8:38-39)

God’s Grace 

God bestows upon us His undeserving grace. We are saved by His grace. Jesus came in God’s grace towards us and all humanity. We must accept it though. God offers us the choice. We can accept or reject Him. (Ephesians 2:4-5, Ephesians 2:6-7, Ephesians 2:8)

In God’s grace He sent His son. God’s grace surrounds believers. We are sinners and don’t deserve it, yet God gives us His grace everyday. (Ephesians 1:2, Revelation 22:21)

God’s Mercy 

His mercy is new every day. His mercy was shown in His sacrifice for us so we can have life in Him and have eternal life if we believe. God’s mercy, forgiveness and grace are all tied together. (Lamentations 3:22-23)

Just as grace, we don’t deserve God’s mercy either, but in His love for us He shows us mercy. He forgives us every single time we mess up and walk away from Him. He forgives and forgets. He welcomes us back every time like the prodigal son. God celebrates our return. Heaven celebrates every lost sinner who turns to God in repentance from a sincere heart. It doesn’t matter if it’s the first time or thousandths time. God’s arms are always open to accept us back. (Psalm 103:12-13, Luke 15:20, Psalm 51:17)

Made for a Reason 

God made each of us with a purpose in mind. He created us specifically for our purpose. He gifts us each and works in our lives to fulfill the purpose He gave us. We are loved by God and He wants us to be a part of His story. (1 Corinthians 2:9, Ephesians 2:10)

Purpose 

God gives us purpose and meaning in life. He made plans for us before the beginning of time. He chose us out of His grace and love. He has a purpose, a plan for each of us. Through prayer and following Him, letting His Spirit lead we can find our purpose. (1 John 4:19, 2 Timothy 1:9)

God’s Word reveals how to live in Him. By following God’s Word we will find peace, hope, joy and the true way to live life here on earth by imitating Christ and radiating His love. Our purpose will continually be found and fulfilled through following Him, living in fellowship with Christ and studying and obeying His Word. (Psalm 119:15-16, Psalm 119:27, Psalm 119:105, Psalm 119:159-160)

God’s Plan for You 

God has a plan for you. His plan is good. His ways are better. We plan our lives, our days and weeks and weekends. We may make our plans but He ultimately guides our steps. (Proverbs 16:9, Proverbs 19:21)

God planned all of our life before we were born. He planned good for us. Even the toughest parts, the hardships, the broken parts, the trials and pain, He allows for our good. It makes Him sad and He feels our hurt, but if we let God work in us through the bad and good times, He will orchestrate it all for our good. (Romans 8:28)

A Future & a Hope 

God wants good for us. He works it all together for our good. He gives us His Word and His Spirit to teach and guide us. Through them He warns us about things that will hurt us and lovingly shows us the right path. He is sad when we choose the wrong way. He truly knows the best way. (Ephesians 4:30, Proverbs 14:12, Isaiah 55:9)

Future 

God knows our future. God gives us a future with Him. He offers abundant life. There is joy and peace when we walk with Him and choose His way.

Our way, the worlds way, others way, never lead in the right direction. Any way without God will not satisfy our souls. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. When we believe we gain a future of hope. (John 14:6, John 3:16, John 1:12)

Hope 

God is the hope for all humanity. He is the only savior. He alone can save us from our sin, our burden, our darkness inside, our struggles and our hopelessness. Through Him alone we have victory over all of life. (John 16:33, Romans 8:37-39, 1 Corinthians 15:57)

Find hope, peace and joy in Christ. Believe in Him. Believe He came and died for your sins and let Him into your life and heart. (Romans 3:23-24, Romans 6:23)
