“Our desire for acceptance and immortality, left wanting by the limitations of contemporary celebrity, is satisfied completely in the ancient Christian worldview. According to the Bible, God knew you before you were born, created you, and delights in you (Jeremiah 1:5; Psalm 139:13-16). He knows everything about you and considers you ‘fearfully and wonderfully made,’ (Psalm 139:14) even if you’ve been ignoring him. The acceptance you and I crave has been available all along, not on the social media platforms we frequent but in the love God offers.” (Wallace, 2024, p. 76)
