What Does God Think of You

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Most people know what they think of God.  They can tell you who they think God is and what he is like based on what they have heard, learned, or experienced.  But ask them what God thinks of them and most of them will not really know.  Maybe because they have a one sided relationship with God where they do the talking and not
the listening.  Let’s see what the Bible says God thinks of us.

Genesis 1:27-28
So God created man in his own image in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.  God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number, fill the earth and subdue it.  Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”  God saw all that he had made and it was very good.

God made us in his own image and blessed us.  We are like God.  Just like when we have children, they are like us.  How much pride and joy do we have when we see our firstborn?  The first thing you hear Grandma say is who they look like.  I believe God was just as overjoyed when he made man and I don’t think it’s changed since.
 He even said that it was very good.  Then man sinned.

Genesis 3:17-19
To Adam he said, “Because you listened to your wife and ate from the tree about which I commanded you, “you must not eat of it,” Cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat of it all the days of your life.  It will produce thorns and thistles for you, and you will eat the plants of the field.  By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return.”

Notice here that when Adam sinned, God did not curse Adam.  Instead he cursed the ground.  Now man would have to work very hard and the ground would produce thistles and thorns.  Before that when Adam was in the Garden of Eden, every tree was pleasing to the eye and good for food.   It’s like when our children do something bad.  We don’t hate them or curse them.  We may punish them, but we still love them.  In the same way, God punished Adam, but he still loved him.   Man has been struggling with his sin ever since and throughout the Old Testament, they sacrificed animals for their sins.  When Jesus came, he paid for our sins once for all by dying on the cross.  Those that accepted him as Saviour became born again and experienced a reunion with God.  Here is how that changed our relationship with God.

Colossians 1:21-22
Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of your evil behavior.  But now he has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy in his sight without blemish and free from accusation. Notice that WE were “enemies in our minds”.  God did not make us his enemy, we made God OUR enemy because of our sinful nature.  But now, through Jesus we have been reconciled to God.  And now through Jesus, we are holy and blameless.


Ephesians 1:18
I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints.
God wants us to know that he has some great blessings in store for us.  He is so  delighted with every sinner that comes back to God. 

Ephesians 2:6-7
And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. 

God has seated those that accept Jesus next to him in heaven.  We are not there yet, but there is a place there waiting for us.  Only a loving Father would do something like that for his children. 

Ephesians 1:3-5
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ.  For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight.  In love he predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ in accordance with his pleasure and will.

When you become a Christian, God blesses you in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing.  Then he adopts you as his son.  

Philippians 3:20-21
But our citizenship is in heaven.  And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body.

For now, we are in heaven in “virtual reality”, and God has already blessed us there and made a place for us.  But when Jesus comes, we will go to heaven to be with our Father and he will give us new glorified bodies.

Ephesians 2:19
Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow citizens with God’s people and members of God’s household.

1 Peter 2:9-10
But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.  Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God.

When we are saved, we become one of God’s children and members of his household. We are no longer on the outside.  We are part of God’s family.

John 3:16
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

God so loved the world.   That’s us.  God so loves me is another way you can say this. There is no greater love that anyone can show than the love God has for his children.  It is absolutely incomprehensible when you look at what God did so that we could be forgiven and have an eternal relationship with him in heaven.  That’s what God thinks of us.  He loves us so much that he has bent over backwards to do everything possible for us to come to him.  He is a loving Father who is waiting for his children to come home and live with him forever.

      “Then man sinned”
      Really :?:
      How do you work that out. :eek:
      Can an animal sin :?:
      Describe “sin”
      God loves his children does he :?:
      The peadophile raping of children is just another example of his boundless love,is it.
      Having your rectum reamed out and being force fed at Guantanamo is another of his loves.
      Obey me or spend eternity in hell sure sounds like love :razz:
      No. If God was all about love he would lead by example surely. :mrgreen:

        your error is believing this is God’s world, and the christian religion is God’s religion.

        Satan is the god/ruler of this world, 99.9% of the christian religions are satan’s religion.

        Man rejected the Government of God thus God is letting man and satan rule.

        Man rejected God’s Law and they still hate it.

        Christ came and defeated satan and will replace him as ruler of earth, At the return of Jesus Christ as King of kings earth will be ruled by God’s law there will be no more crime or sin.

        Right now you can blame yourself for all crime and lawlessness in this world — you yourself will still not obey Jesus Christ. You rail at the injustice and suffering but you just want everyone else to obey. Soon the entire world will live by the 10 Commandments and there will be peace.

        Do you understand — man told God leave us alone we will decide what is right and what is wrong? God is leaving us alone until Christ returns?

      Why do you not cast a spell and make it all ok , you who call yourself wizard ?.

      Our Lord asks of us that the pain we suffer, to endure , for it is but minutes in the vastness of eternity and this mortal life but a drop in an enormous ocean and this that sustains us like our daily bread we must earn .

      Nothing at all seeing as it’s fiction. But if it was real I guess it would be looking for any excuse to practice it’s favorite occupation and only solution to every problem including little kids being cheeky… mass murder.

      You should not use undefinable words like Sin, which is completely subjective to the age and place and therefore totally meaningless. Basically an unjust excuse to inflict punishment.

      I am not too worried about what god thinks of me, and I’m not too worried what others think of me either for that matter! I walk my own path and never attempt to impose my beliefs on others!

      Read the “New God” to see how God really views you. The bible cannot reveal these things.

      Jango is an evil dope. So he quotes from the writing of John, the gospel according to John, and in that gospel, Christ states that those who do evil hate the light (John 3:20), and in Romans 7:19, the evil Pharisee Paul, the false apostle, states that he does EVIL! Pharisee Paul lays out his thesis why he serves God’s law in his mind and serves sin in his flesh, that is commits evil deeds (Romans 7:16-25). But Jango is a child of Hell convert to a Pharisee doctrine, the doctrine (the false gospel) of the self-proclaimed 13th apostle of Christ, Paul/Saul of Tarsus, a Pharisee (Acts 23:6, 26:5, Philippians 3:5), and so he hears what Christ says, he hears what Paul says and chooses to believe upon Paul instead of Christ, for one cannot believe both of them for they conflict with each other!

      1 John 3:22 We keep God’s commandments, we do what is pleasing in the sight of the Lord

      We CAN shun evil deeds. All flesh is NOT captive to a so-called law of sin (Romans 7:23-25). We CAN DO what is pleasing in the sight of the Lord! It is a lie that we cannot do good, but the evil Pharisee Paul says he cannot do good because his flesh is captive to a law of sin (Romans 7:16-25).

      Jango is among the many who think they are of Christ, but Christ will deny knowing them. These people say to Christ, but Lord Lord, we did many wonderful works in your name (Matthew 7:22-23), but Christ will tell them he never knew them and Christ calls them workers of iniquity. Iniquity is lawlessness and Paul’s followers (like Jango), preach no more law of God, nailed to the cross (Colossians 2:14). Told that the law of God was nailed to the cross and told that the law of God will not go away until heaven and earth pass away, they choose to believe the man of Satan, Paul, and call Christ the liar for saying the law stays until heaven and earth no longer exist (Matthew 5:17-18).

        “We CAN DO what is pleasing in the sight of the Lord!”

        What you mean “go forth and massacre thy neighbor”? Burn the witch, the infidel, and anyone else who disagrees?

      • yes2truth

        God the Father loves me so much that He sent His only begotten Son in the flesh to die for me so that I may be perfect and have eternal life in His Kingdom. That’s what God thinks of me.
