Does God see me as an individual or just as a number in the church?
Every believer is an individual in God's sight whom He knows, not merely a number in the church. God knows each person's every need, heartache, and joy, and each believer deserves the same love and compassion as the next, as members of Christ's body.
Les explains that believers do not come into the body of Christ as a number; each one is an individual in God's sight whom He knows. He knows every need, every heartache, and every joy, so prayer is not just another sound to God—it is as if you are the only one in the throne room. Paul uses the human body analogy: if one member suffers, all suffer; if a believer is hurt, the whole body hurts. God wants the weakest believer enhanced and brought to the fore, with no division and the same care for one another.
Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.
