Your Question:
Does God really care about us?
Answer:
I believe that God does indeed care about us. The Bible teaches that God is a loving and personal God who desires a relationship with us. He is not just a distant deity, but one who rejoices over us with gladness, renews us in His love, and exults over us with loud singing (Zephaniah 3:17-18). This kind of love and care is not based on what we can do for Him, but rather on His own character and being. God's care for us is not limited to our successes or achievements, but also extends to our struggles and failures. He is a God who is always with us, even in our darkest moments (Psalm 23). He is a God who can do anything He wants to do, and yet He chooses to work through us, to form a voluntary and loving relationship with Him. This relationship is not just about us, but also about our relationship with others, as we become witnesses for Jesus and proclaim who He is. Ultimately, God's care for us is not about avoiding consequences or dictating what we would allow as a condition of our obedience. Rather, it is about obeying Him and leaving the consequences with Him. He is a God who is faithful, loving, and all-powerful, and He desires to form a relationship with us that brings us joy, significance, and purpose. As the Bible says, "Have the right relationship with God, finding your joy there, and out of you will flow rivers of living water" (John 7:38).
