God has spoken clearly about who you are as a person. John 3:16 says, “For God so loved the world.” If you are a part of the world, God loves you. Verse 17 goes on to say, “For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him.“ God desires everyone to be saved. The baseline for you as a person is that you’re loved and deemed worthy of saving. Has anyone ever told you that? Next the Bible says that by the simple act of believing Jesus is the sinless Son of God who gave His life for yours, you become a child of God. That means you have God’s special attention and blessing. It means you’re part of this new, amazing thing He is doing called the Kingdom of Heaven. It means you’re gifted with God-given abilities to make a difference in the lives of others. It means you have an eternal inheritance awaiting you as a part of God’s family forever. It means God’s own spirit is living inside of you, helping you grow and recover your new identity.
