I have a genuine theological question and I was hoping someone here could help me with this because I really don\u2019t know the answer. The question is, why do people say \u201cChrist died for me\u201d or \u201cChrist died for you?\u201d How can any of us matter than much individually? I mean, hypothetically speaking, if you or me had never been born, wouldn\u2019t He have still died for all the other people? How can anyone believe that Christ died for any of us personally as opposed to collectively? I\u2019m not trying to be cute; I\u2019m confused.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Because you are not a statistic. You are a person and God loves each of us personally. Christianity is not about generalities or statistical probabilities, but about the love of God for each and every person. God, being infinite and omniscient, can do that kind of thing. This is what Jesus is getting at when he says that the very hairs of your head are numbered. You\u2013you personally\u2013are precious to him.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
