You are Priceless in God’s Eyes!

You are Priceless in God’s Eyes!

The Bible teaches that all people are unworthy, but being unworthy does not mean you are “worthless.”  God paid a great price to redeem mankind.  The value of something is always determined by the price one is willing to pay.

We use the term “priceless” today to illustrate that there is no amount of money on the earth that could buy or purchase what one considers priceless. All the gold, diamonds, and wealth of the earth could not purchase man’s redemption.  It took something of far greater value to pay the price.  All the gold, precious stones, and the pearly gates in heaven could not pay what was required.  Something of far greater value was needed, so God sent the most valuable and precious gift He had to pay the price for man’s salvation:  His dear son, Jesus.  Therefore, in God’s eyes, we are “priceless.”  Nothing on the earth could purchase us, but the value God saw in His son is the value He sees in us.

“For you are bought with a great price.  Glorify and bear God in your body”  (I Corinthians 6:20).
