What does God think?

November 11, 2021 by Rev. Mona Scrivens

Have you ever taken a personality test? Or maybe a quiz in a magazine or on social media that inform you of who you are? Are you a lion, a beaver, an ENFP, the skeptic, the giver, a competitor, and activator? We all want to know who we are, don’t we? 

As helpful, and as fun as those tests can be, have you ever stopped to ask, “What does God think about me? 

Who does God say that I am?”

God actually has a lot to say about the matter — a whole bible full!  From the beginning of the bible to the very last page, we are told that we are valuable (Matthew 10:31), created in the very image of God (Genesis 2:7; Genesis 1:27; Psalm 139:16). That God knows everything about us and that we were fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:13; Matthew 10:30; Psalm 139:4; Psalm 139:14).

We are told that we are free and forgiven (Romans 8:1-2; I John 1:9) We have been saved by grace (Ephesians 2:8). We are secure in God (Romans 8:39; John 10:29; Hebrews 13:5).  And that is just the tip of the iceberg.

Go on a hunt to discover what God thinks of you…you may find that the quizzes can’t define you… but what God thinks of you does!

On Sunday we sang this amazing song.  Check it out. Who You Say I Am

(Words and Music by Ben Fielding & Reuben Morgan)

VERSE 1

Who am I that the highest King

Would welcome me

I was lost but He brought me in

Oh His love for me

Oh His love for me

CHORUS

Who the Son sets free

Oh is free indeed

I’m a child of God

Yes I am

VERSE 2

Free at last

He has ransomed me

His grace runs deep

While I was a slave to sin

Jesus died for me

Yes He died for me

CHORUS 2

Who the Son sets free

Oh is free indeed

I’m a child of God

Yes I am

In my Father’s house

There’s a place for me

I’m a child of God

Yes I am

BRIDGE

I am chosen

Not forsaken

I am who You say I am

You are for me

Not against me

I am who You say I am
