What does it mean that believers are called honorable in God's sight?

Answered in 1 source

Believers are regarded as honorable due to their relationship with Christ, not their own merit (Isaiah 43:4).

The term 'honorable' used in Isaiah 43:4 signifies a profound truth about the believer's identity in Christ. This honor is not based on personal achievements but stems from the redemptive love and work of Christ. As members of the Church, believers are seen as 'honorable' because they are conjoined with their Redeemer, Jesus Christ, the embodiment of honor and righteousness. This perspective dismantles any reliance on self-righteousness and shifts the focus to Christ's merit. Consequently, understanding that our honor comes from God’s grace encourages believers to embody this honor in their lives, serve others with humility, and hold steadfast to the truth of their identity in Christ.
