Psalm 139:1-16
---
I will praise You, for
I am fearfully and
wonderfully made.
--Psalm 139:14

Knowing Jesus Christ as Savior helped me to realize that because God created me in His image (Gen. 1:27), I am "fearfully and wonderfully made". God declares that all He has made is "very good" (Gen. 1:31). The Psalms remind us that we are "skilly wrought" (Ps. 139:15) God knows each one of us intimately: "O LORD, You have searched me and known me. You know my sitting down and my rising up; You understand my thought afar off. You comprehend my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways" (vv.1-3).

Not only are we wonderfully made, but because of Christ's death on the cross, we can also be wonderfully restored to a right relationship with God. "If anyone is in Chirst, he is a new creation...All this is from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ" (2Cor. 5:17-18).

In His own image God created man,
He formed his body from the dust of the earth;
But more than that, to all who are in Christ
He gives eternal life by second birth.
