What Does My Creator Think of Me

He thinks I am so important, that He takes knowledge of my every action and thought.

"Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thoughts afar off. Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways" (Psalm 139:2,3).

He is always present with me. I cannot escape Him.

"If I ascend up into heaven thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there" (v.8).

He created me in a wonderful fashion, for a purpose He planned for me in eternity past.

"I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them" (vs. 14,16).

His continual loving care for me cannot be measured.

"How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! How great is the sum of them! If I should count them, they are more than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee" (vs. 17,18).

HOW SHOULD I RESPOND TO
MY CREATOR'S LOVE FOR ME?

Allow Him to show me my spiritual condition.

"Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me" (vs. 23,24a). "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23).

Accept the plan He has designed for my life, beginning now with my salvation.

"...and lead me in the way everlasting" (Psalm 139: 24b).

Realize that Jesus Christ, my Creator, so loved me that He, as God, took upon Himself human flesh, and came to this earth to be punished for my sin by dying on the cross.

"But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8).

Realize that because of His death, burial and resurrection for me, I can have the gift of spending eternity with my Creator.

"For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." (Romans 6:23).

HOW DO I ACCEPT THE GIFT OF FORGIVENESS
FOR MY SIN SO THAT I CAN GO TO HEAVEN?

Repent of my sin: accept what God thinks of my sin.

"Repent ye, and believe the gospel" (Mark 1:15).

Believe with all my heart that Christ died, was buried, and came back to life for my sins.

"If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved" (Romans 10:9).

"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved" (Romans 10:13).

Pray this simple prayer:

Dear Lord Jesus, I believe that I am a sinner, and I ask for your forgiveness. I believe that You suffered the punishment for my sin by your death on the cross, and that You arose from the grave. I now receive You into my heart as my Savior. Thank You for saving me and forgiving me right now. I will serve You with all my heart. Amen.

"And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved" (Acts 16:31).
