How do we know humans are important to God?

Human importance is established throughout Scripture, particularly through God's creation of man in His image (Genesis 1:26-27) and the subsequent plan of salvation through Jesus Christ. Ephesians 1:4 states that believers were chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world, underlining God's deep and abiding interest in humanity. Furthermore, the divine dealings with individuals, as illustrated in the experiences of Job, reveal God's commitment to teaching and restoring man, which affirms their significance in God's eyes.
