2) The person others think we are.
3) The person we think others think we are.
4) The person we really are.
Last week I started a sermon series on the subject of love, and started with God's love for us. The question we looked at was: "What Does God Think of Me?"
In Ephesians 1:4-14 we looked at how God views us in four different ways. Just briefly mentioned: God sees us "In Christ" as:
Chosen In Christ (v.4)
Rescued In Christ (v.7)
Adopted In Christ (v.5)
Honored In Christ (vv.7-14)
There are a lot of people who show a false face on how they really feel about themselves, and have a wrong idea about how God sees them, and how He feels about them.
If there is one thing that is established and maintained here in Paul's words, and all through the Bible, is that God loves us deeply, and was willing to go the distance, to have us with Him for eternity. There is no denying that. You may refuse God's love, but it is very evident from the Scriptures that God sees us as His treasure.
Will you accept how God feels about you, and run to Him to place yourselves in His loving and eternal care? GP
