What does it mean that Christians are precious to God?

Answered in 1 source

Being precious to God means that Christians hold a valued place in His heart and purpose, being loved and redeemed.

In Isaiah 43, the assertion that believers are precious in God's sight highlights their value in His redemptive plan. The chapter expresses God's ownership and care for His people, emphasizing not only their creation but also their continual sustenance and love. This preciousness is grounded in God’s love, which motivates His actions towards them—redeeming, calling, and sanctifying His elect. Therefore, each believer can find comfort in knowing they are chosen, loved, and specifically called by God, which shapes their identity and purpose in His kingdom.
