God Never Missed It

1. God Created You In Perfection

You were made perfect!

Life For Man Began In Complete Freedom, From Shame, Guilt and Condemnation

Man lived completely loved and fully accepted

Adam & Eve were naked and felt no shame

Genesis 2:25 NIV - Anglicised

The man and his wife were both naked, and they felt no shame.

Man did not know shame, condemnation and fear

Adam & Eve’s thinking was wrapped up the the good opinion of God

2. God Created You For Relationship With Him

You are everything God has ever wanted

God SO loved the world that he gave his only Son

John 3:16 NIV - Anglicised

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

While we were sinners Christ died for us

Romans 5:8 NIV - Anglicised

But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

That God was reconciling the world to himself through Christ.

2 Corinthians 5:13–21 NIV - Anglicised

If we are out of our mind, it is for the sake of God; if we are in our right mind, it is for you. For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again. So from now on we regard no-one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God. God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

Loved you with an everlasting love.

Jeremiah 31:3 NIV - Anglicised

The Lord appeared to us in the past, saying: “I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with loving-kindness.

You were created to be a spittin image of your Daddy

We were created in God's image

Genesis 1:26–28 NIV - Anglicised

Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”
