Understanding

• How our evaluation of people has been shaped

• Clarifying how our Creator and Redeemer values people

• That we are invited to join Father God in seeing and helping people “unpack” the fullness of who they are created to be.

Our Internal “Model” about People

Assumptions from Childhood

Our “Theology” about human nature

News Stories

Awareness of our own shortcomings

Impressions from Holy Spirit

Past Experiences

What We’ve Been Taught to Value

Clarifying how our Creator and Redeemer Values people

• “For God so LOVED the world…. John 3:16

• 2 …looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Heb 12:2 NKJV

• Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. 1 John 3:2

O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens. 2 Out of the mouth of babies and infants,you have established strength because of your foes, to still the enemy and the avenger.

3 When I look at 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, and the son of man that you care for him?

5 Yet you have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor. 6 You have given him dominion over the works of your hands; you have put all things under his feet,

Psalm 8 ESV

Any Theology that Devalues People Will Twist Love and Lead to Performance and Addictions

Story

And He said to them, “Why did you seek Me? Did you not know that I

must be about My Father’s business?” Luke 2:49 NKJV

Intrinsic Worth• Every human conceived has great intrinsic

worth - bestowed upon us by our Creator and redeemed by our Savior Jesus.

• The brokenness we experience in this world is proof of the great hatred Satan has for the one class of beings (human beings) the Trinity has chosen to have the deepest level of community with.

• Through fellowship with Holy Spirit, our human spirit can perceive glimpses of what we are each becoming! (2 Cor 5:16, 1Cor 1:9-16)

Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. 1 John 3:2
