Who are you to God

Please repeat after me, (I am who GOD say’s I am; I can do what GOD say’s I can do!

We started with the statement I am who GOD say’s I am; I can do what GOD say’s I can do. Now, I wish to go just a little farther with this, turn to your neighbors and say, you are who GOD say’s you are; you can do what GOD say’s you can do! GOD loves you!

So, who are you to GOD?

Genises 1:26-27 says we are created in the Image Of GOD Therefore We/you are the very image of GOD! Look around and see Gods Face or an image of it anyway.

We are fearfully and wonderfully made Psalms 139: 13-18

How? Do we know this to be true? It says that GOD formed Adam out of the clay carefully in his own image. [GOD knowing all that would happen being that he is all knowing.]

GOD worked hard to make Adam and Eve, he even said it was very good. We also know that Adam and Eve were the only creation formed out of the dust by the LORD Himself!

This is how we know how much care GOD took to create Adam and Eve. From this we find in Psalms 139:13-14 For you formed my inward parts; you covered me in my mothers womb. I will praise you for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are your works, and that my soul knows very well. This is where the writer explains GOD’s careful construction of us.

 Known before we were formed [before]: in Jeremiah 1:5 we are known before we were formed in our mother’s womb and it also say’s in Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you (this is GOD’s declaration) Plans for your wellbeing, not for disaster’ to give you a future and hope”.

 We now know that we were created, carefully made, and that we were known by GOD before we were conceived.

 How then can we use this for our lives today? Parents and those who hope to be parents through natural birth or adoption. All of us have parents ! and parents you had or have plans for your children.

Your desire is They grow up healthy, that they make it through school, you also hope they can get scholarships to pay for college.

All parents hope their children will have it better than when they grew up. If this is true for you how much more does GOD, our father in Heaven have planned for you?

Each one of us is a masterpiece in the making, Isaiah 64:8 as many of us have heard “You oh LORD are the potter, we are the clay” he has given us the instruction book the map to salvation each of us specially made by GOD.

 Now that we know that we are carefully made, we need to know that we are also chosen.

We should also know that GOD has redeemed us! From the punishment all sinners deserve, as it is written in revelations 21:8 but the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murders, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake of fire.

But our GOD gave all of us a way to freedom from this punishment.  But, only if we accept that we are sinners, repent from those sins and accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior. Gods only begotten son who died on the cross, crucified for our sins, even before we were born.

So, we can see our GOD, made a way for us to become free from sin, holy and able to be in the presence of our father GOD.

Through Jesus who was born of a virgin sinless from birth which I would love to get into the particulars. [But that is a bible study subject] then He grew up sinless being baptized for the remission of sins even though he was already sinless. (more bible study). Jesus then being tested in the wilderness by the devil himself after forty days of fasting (more of that bible study), being able to rebuff the devil and not sin. He began His ministry and for three years speak and teach those who could hear and understand the good news of the forgiveness of sins through his death and resurrection. GOD redeemed all who would believe. Praise God and Jesus!

 Now we have a purpose, each one of us who believe have a special talent some are apostles, some are prophets, some are teachers, some do miracles, some are healers, some are servants to needs of others, some are leaders, some speak in other tongues. It is possible for people to have more than one gift.

But each and everyone has a greater purpose in the Family of GOD. Through faith in Jesus, we have been adopted by God. With all the rights given the children of God, but only if we believe.
