I am a big believer of Keeping the Main Thing the Main Thing. Thus, the most important question in life is the one asked by Jesus to his disciples, "But who do you say I am?" I agree with Simon Peter's answer, "You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God." (Matthew 16:15-16)
1 John 5:11-12 And this is what God has testified: He has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have God's Son does not have life.
This is the bottom-line verse.
However...God does not stop caring for us with the Main Thing! John 10:10 The thief's purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life. (NLT) God cares about the smallest details in our lives. Psalm 37:23 The Lord directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives.
As we live our daily lives, so many forces oppose us. But none of them can stand up against God! Therefore, we should not be afraid. Matthew 10:28-31 Don't be afraid of those who want to kill your body; they cannot touch your soul. Fear only God, who can destroy both soul and body in hell. What is the price of two sparrows--one copper coin? But not a single sparrow can fall to the ground without your Father knowing it. And the very hairs on your head are all numbered. So don't be afraid; you are more valuable to God than a whole flock of sparrows.
GOD'S MESSAGE TO US: WE ARE IMPORTANT!!
