What does the Bible say about the man that God looks to?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible states that God looks to the one who is poor, contrite in spirit, and trembles at His word (Isaiah 66:2).

According to Isaiah 66:2, God looks to the one who is poor and of a contrite spirit, and who trembles at His word. This suggests that God's favor rests on those who recognize their spiritual poverty and their need for grace. The man that God looks to embodies humility, acknowledging that he has nothing to commend himself before God. Rather, it is through Christ, who fulfilled these attributes perfectly, that any believer can hope to receive God's regard. Thus, the fulfillment of this passage ultimately points us to Jesus Christ, the one who became poor for our sake and who perfectly honored the Word of God.
