DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thomas Brooks emphasizes the profound truth that believers are cherished
by God, who created, redeemed, and called them by name. He highlights
that each individual is precious in God's sight, valued as His peculiar
treasure and honored above all else. Brooks reassures the congregation
that God's love and ownership extend to the weakest and lowest among
them, affirming their worth and identity in Christ. The sermon draws
from Isaiah 43:1, reminding listeners of their unique relationship with
God and His unwavering commitment to them.

"But now, this is what the Lord says--He who created

you, O Jacob, He who formed you, O Israel--Fear not,

for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by

name; you are Mine!" Isaiah 43:1

"You are Mine--for I have made you.

You are Mine--for I have chosen you.

You are Mine--for I have bought you, purchased you.

You are Mine--for I have called you.

You are Mine--for I have redeemed you.

You are Mine--for I have stamped My image upon you.

You are Mine--for I have put My Spirit into you!"

"You are precious and honored in My sight," Is. 43:4

God prizes His people . . .

as His "peculiar treasure;" Exod. 19:5,

as His "portion;" Deut. 32:9,

as His "pleasant portion;" Jer. 12:10,

as His "jewels;" Mal. 3:17,

as His "glory;" Isaiah 4:5,

as His "crown and royal diadem."

Yes, God prizes the poorest, the lowest, and the

weakest saint in the world--above a multitude,

yes, above a world of unforgiven sinners.
