Every Christian, no matter how large or small, is important to the fabric of God's tapestry.

Importance doesn't approach necessity. God "needs" to exist, I don't. God did not create us out of necessity, God is not contingent upon our existence.

Importance doesn't approach necessity.

Let's put it this way. God has a perfect plan that He has enacted. That perfect plan was formed before the foundation of the universe and is perfect, right and just. A part of that plan includes your salvation and redemption. Why this is important is difficult to say, only we know that it's part of "The Plan".

Now God must have thought that having you as part of His Plan was 1) important, and 2) necessary. God needs you to exist to carry forth His perfect plan. It isn't that God couldn't create a rock to accomplish the same task that you or I are going to perform. But God in His great wisdom ordained that it was best and perfect for you and I to do whatever it is that He has deemed appropriate.

So yes you need to exist simply because God has ordained it. God hasn't made anything in this world that isn't important and doesn't have some purpose.

Ecc 3:11 He hath made every [thing] beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.
