We were nothing ...
In the eyes of God, we were nothing (our nothingness)
(Psalms 8:4).
However, through the atoning death of Jesus Christ,
we have become everything to God (God's everything).
Therefore, instead of arrogantly thinking of ourselves as something before God,
we should always remember that “I was nothing”
and be thankful for the sacrificial death on the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ,
who made us everything to God.
