Am I just a number to God or does He know me individually?
No. Every believer is an individual in God's sight whom He knows personally. God knows each one's every need, every heartache, and every joy. Prayer is not merely another sound to Him; it is just as if you are the only one in the throne room. That is the kind of God we serve.
Les teaches that within the body of Christ, no believer is merely a number. Each person is an individual in God's sight whom He knows. God knows every need, every heartache, and every joy of the believer. Les also says Christians often think their prayers are just another sound to God, but that is not true. Instead, it is just as if you are the only one in the throne room. That is the kind of God we serve. He connects this to the body imagery: the weakest believer is to be enhanced and brought to the fore, all members should have the same care, and if one member suffers, all suffer with it.
Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.
