What God Thinks about YOU! 

By Debra Courtney

You are BOUGHT

“Don’t you see that you can’t live however you please, squandering what God paid such a high price for?  The physical part of you is not some piece of property belonging to the spiritual part of you.  God owns the whole works.  So let people see God in and through your body.”  

1 Corinthians 6:20 

You are Forever FREE

“With the arrival of Jesus, the Messiah, that fateful dilemma is resolved.  Those who enter into Christ’s being-here-fore-us no longer have to live under a continuous, low-lying black cloud.  A new power is in operation.  The Spirit of life in Christ, like a strong wind, has magnificently cleared the air, freeing you from a fated lifetime of brutal tyranny at the hands of sin and death.”  Romans 8:1-2 

You are God’s WORKMANSHIP

“God does both the making and saving, He creates each of us by Christ Jesus to join him in the work He does, the good work He has gotten ready for us to do, work we had better be doing.”  Ephesians 2:10 

You are BEAUTIFUL

“You’ll be a stunning crown in the palm of God’s hand, a jeweled gold cup held high in the hand of your God.”  

Isaiah 62:3 

You are a CHOSEN & ROYAL PRIESTHOOD

“But you are the ones chosen by God, chosen for the high calling of priestly work, chosen to be a holy people, God’s instruments to do his work and speak out for him, to tell others of the night-and-day difference he made for you – from nothing to something, from rejected to accepted.  

1 Peter 2:9 

You are LOVED

“That’s how much you mean to me!  That’s show much I love you!  I’d sell off the whole world to get you back, trade the creation just for you.”  Isaiah 43:4

You are COMPLETE

“Everything of God gets expressed in him, so you can see and hear him clearly.  You don’t need a telescope, a microscope, or a horoscope to realize the fullness of Christ, and the emptiness of the universe without him.  When you come to him, that fullness comes together for you, too.  His power extends over everything.”  Colossians 2:9-10 

You are NEVER ALONE

“Don’t be obsessed with getting more material things.  Be relaxed with what you have.  Since God assured us, 'I’ll never let you down, never walk off and leave you.'”  

Hebrews 13:5 

You are CALLED

“In light of all this, here’s what I want you to do.  While I’m locked up here, a prisoner for the Master, I want you to get out there and walk – better yet, run!  – on the road God called you to travel.”  Ephesians 4:1 

You are a NEW CREATION

“Now we look inside, and what we see is that anyone united with the Messiah gets a fresh start, is created new.  The old life is gone; a new life burgeons!”  2 Corinthians 5:17 

You are FEARFULLY & MARVELOUSLY made

“I thank you, High God – you’re breathtaking!  Body and soul, I am marvelously made!”  Psalm 139:14 

You are FORGIVEN

         “On the other hand, if we admit our sins – make a clean breast of them – He won’t let us down; He’ll be true to himself.”  1 John 1:9
