These are some of the Bible passages that ground what I’ve been saying about being known, human value, sin and God’s love.
Bible quotations on this page are from the New International Version (NIV).
Our value begins with God
“So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them...”
God knows us completely
“You have searched me, LORD, and you know me... Before a word is on my tongue you, LORD, know it completely.”
God’s knowledge is connected with his care
“Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.”
Something has gone wrong
“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”
God responded in love
“While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
Put together
Made in God’s image → fully known by God → separated from him by sin → loved and rescued through Jesus.
If you want to keep digging
Psalm 139:1–18 — being known by God and living in his presence.
Romans 5:1–11 — reconciliation and God’s love through Jesus.
Ephesians 2:1–10 — separation, grace and new life.
