Why is it important for Christians to understand they are God's portion?
Answered in 1 source
Recognizing that Christians are God's portion reassures them of His love and the relationship they have with Him.
Understanding that we are God's portion is vital as it reaffirms our identity in Christ and the depth of God's commitment to us. Matthew Henry noted that while God does not need us, His condescension in choosing us as His portion exemplifies the grace of God. This profound truth assures believers that they are cherished and protected—held as the 'apple of His eye' (Psalm 17:8). Such understanding promotes hope, stability, and resilience in the face of life's challenges, reminding us that our worth comes not from our circumstances but from our relationship with God.
