Belonging to God
I was reading a bible study book and it mentioned Psalm 100:3, which says:
Know that the Lord is God.
It is He who made us, and we are His;
we are His people, the sheep of His pasture. (NIV)
There’s a lot of good stuff in this verse, but what really stuck out to me was the second line –
It is He who made us, and we are His,
According to this verse, it is God who made us.
We weren’t made by accident. We didn’t suddenly just exist.
We didn’t evolve from slime somewhere.
God made us.
On purpose.
He meant to do it.
Because God has made us, we belong to Him.
We are His people.
This means we aren’t our own.
