Behold Our God Series | Psalm 139
It is unbearable to be invisible to others, especially people whose attention we long to have. But being visible comes with its burdens too. In fact, the idea of someone knowing this much about us would be unbearable—were it not for the fact that God also loves us. The gospel reveals how God, who knows us completely, could also love us completely: he loves us in Christ. When a person trusts in Christ, he or she enjoys such a close relationship with Christ, that now God views him or her as having the same love and acceptance as his own Son. Paul puts it this way in Ephesians: “In love he predestined us for adoption to himself as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved” (Ephesians 1:4-7).
