1. What does God know about me? Psalm 139:1–18

2. How can God’s love help us as believers understand who we are and why we are here? Ephesians 1:3–6

3Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, 4even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love 5he predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, 6to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved.

3. What is the relationship of God the Creator to his creation and all his creatures, including me and you? Psalm 104

Psalm 104 Group 1: Verses 1–13 Group 2: Verses 14–23

“Discipleship has at its heart the surrender of the self-generated, self-determined life in order to be available to God. This results in a real-life dependency upon Christ, including love of God, loving others, and loving self.” —Hans Bayer

Since God is the Creator and I am his creation, So, who am I and why am I here? Since God is the Creator and I am his creation, the only way to understand my identity and purpose is to live in dependence upon him.
