In the perspective of the view of the Cross John 3:16

In the perspective of the view of the Cross John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."

I think that in perspective of the view of the cross, The death of Christ on the Cross is indicative of How precious and valuable we are to God in that in our wretched and Sinful condition helpless and cursed without Christ, God Foreloved us to Give His Son for us that Jesus may pay the awful price in His Blood to Redeem His children. The Potential is not what God Saw in us, but the Love that He gave to us in His only begotten Son that He predestined His Children to be conformed to the image and likeness of His Son that He Justified us in His Son and will glorify us. The potential is not what we can do, or any merit or worth in us to reach him or try to be like Jesus, the Potential is realized in Christ our true worth of infinite value in Christ to be conformed to His image and Likeness based on God so loving us that He Gave His only begotten Son.
