In God's eyes, every individual is uniquely valued and loved, as seen in Jeremiah's calling, where he was known and set apart before birth. The Psalms celebrate the wonder of being crafted by God, declaring "I am fearfully and wonderfully made". Jesus teaches that even the smallest details of our lives are known and cared for by God, as evidenced in Luke. This specialness is rooted in God's creation of humanity in His own image, as stated in Genesis, and is affirmed by Jesus' sacrifice, demonstrating God's love for the world, as expressed in John.
