We are Nothing Compared to God The gospel requires us to recognize our own sinfulness. To hold ourselves up to the glorious light of our God and father and to see how despicable we are in comparison to him. When you compare yourself to the God of the universe, you realize how small and dirty you really are. Before getting saved and after we are saved we are always nothing compared to God. But praise God, He loves us and we are the apple of his eye. Why? Because he created us. THAT is why he sent his one and only son to die for us Amen.
