What Did Jesus Say About Us?

Made For a Relationship with God

If you were to read through the New Testament you would discover that Jesus continually speaks of our immense value to God, telling us that God created us to be his special children.

God’s Word tells us that before the universe was created, God planned to create us and adopt us into his family. (Ephesians 1:1-7) Not only did he plan to adopt his children, but he has an incredible inheritance for them. Like the father’s heart in Jesus’ story about the prodigal son, God wants to lavish on us an inheritance of blessing and royal privilege. In his eyes, we are beloved.

Freedom To Choose

God could have made us like robots, programmed to love and obey him by a set of algorithms. But real love needs to be a free choice. To make freely exchanged love possible, God created human beings with a unique capacity: free will. Freedom to choose allows us to love and obey God, but it also allows us to reject God’s love and rebel against him.
