Realizing Your True Value Our value comes from the fact that we are wonderfully made in the image of God (Genesis 1:26,27; Psalm 139:14) and possess a soul which has greater value than all the worlds riches (Matthew 16:26). God further demonstrated our value by sending Jesus to die on the cross for us (Romans 5:6-11). Our price tag is the blood of Jesus Christ (1 Peter 1:18-21). Though in humility we know that we do not deserve the love, attention, and sacrifice of Deity, nevertheless, we must by faith believe what the Bible says about our value in the eyes of God. As children in Gods family, we are co-heirs with Christ (Romans 8:17). We are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people (1 Peter 2:9). Angels minister unto us (Hebrews 1:14) and rejoice in our obedience (Luke 15:10). Jesus is preparing a place for us to live with Him in Heaven forever (John 14:2). So, how valuable are we? Indeed, the way we perceive our own value has a direct effect on our conduct. Knowing all these wonderful things keeps us humble and motivates us to serve Jesus with confidence and hope. The Apostle Paul understood that. He said, For the love of Christ constrains (motivates) us (2 Corinthians 5:14). That knowledge gave him the confidence to say, I can do all things through Jesus Christ who strengthens me (Philippians 4:13).
