Why Is Such A Great God Interested In Us?

God and the Universe

Since we know and believe that God is the Creator of everything, we must understand that we are speaking about a truly awesome and great God. Our minds cannot fully comprehend His greatness, nor even the greatness and magnitude of what He has done.

Romans 1:20

BSB

20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood from His workmanship, so that men are without excuse.

God reveals Himself through His creation. Creation testifies about Him. When we look at a beautiful, clear sky filled with stars, we see the greatness of God.

Psalms 19:1

BSB

1 The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands.

In the Milky Way alone, there are estimated to be between 100 and 400 billion stars. There are also hundreds of billions of other galaxies in the observable universe. All this means that we truly believe in a great and mighty God.

Psalms 8:3-4

BSB

3 When I behold Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have set in place—
4 what is man that You are mindful of him, or the son of man that You care for him?

We see a perfect order and a system that can also be seen in other parts of creation, even in the smallest structures, such as the atom. This points to the fact that the same mind is behind them.

How can such a great God care for creatures as small as us? We find part of the answer in His faithfulness in the smallest matters.

Luke 16:10

BSB

10 Whoever is faithful with very little will also be faithful with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much.

God's nature is aligned with His Word. He looks at the details, and that is why He looks at us. He cares for each person living on this planet, even the tiniest one.

Matthew 10:30

BSB

30 And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.

God gives importance to details that we often would not. He cares for one out of a hundred sheep, and even for one person out of billions. Even if you were the only one living on this earth, He would still have died for you.

If we want to succeed with God, we need to pay attention to the details, to the things that may sometimes appear less important to us, but still have value before God.

Matthew 18:10

BSB

10 See that you do not look down on any of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of My Father in heaven.

Matthew 18:14

BSB

14 In the same way, your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should perish.

Luke 12:6

BSB

6 Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God.

We often need to be honest even in the smallest matters, because there is no such thing as a small lie, and we need to give importance even to the smallest warnings.

Ecclesiastes 10:1

BSB

1 As dead flies bring a stench to the perfumer’s oil, so a little folly outweighs wisdom and honor.

God did not only look upon creatures as small as us, but He also became a man in order to come closer to us, reach us, die for us, and have a relationship with us.

Philippians 2:6-7

BSB

6 Who, existing in the form of God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,
7 but emptied Himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in human likeness.
