God has revealed to us the greatness of man. The fact that Christ was, is, and will forever remain a sign that man is so colossal, so mysteriously deep, that he can not only contain - as a temple - the divine presence, but also unite with God, becoming a 'partaker of the divine nature,' according to the Apostle Peter.

And yet, no matter how much man deviates from his calling, no matter how unworthy he may become of it, he will never have a relationship with God that is less than that of fatherhood and will never cease to hold the position of son or daughter of the Most High.

What is revealed in Christ and through Christ is that what holds the utmost importance is each individual person. That Christ lives and dies for each one of us, that He is not concerned with the masses but with every single person.

The ancient world knew nations and tribes, it knew slaves and masters, it had categories of people, just as the modern world distinguishes categories, types, and groups. God knows only living people - men and women.
