Valioso
Cada ser humano é precioso aos olhos de Deus. As Escrituras revelam que fomos criados à imagem divina, resgatados por alto preço e chamados para um propósito eterno.
O valor que Deus nos dá
Nosso valor não vem de conquistas ou aparências, mas do fato de sermos amados pelo Criador. Deus cuida até dos passarinhos — quanto mais de nós!
29 Are not two sparrows sold for a copper coin? And not one of them shall fall on the ground apart from the [will] of your Father.30 But even the hairs of your head are all numbered.31 Therefore do not fear; you are worth more than many sparrows.
12 How much more valuable then is a man than a sheep! So then it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath."
6 Are not five sparrows sold for two copper coins? And not one of them is forgotten before God.7 But the very hairs of your head have all been numbered. Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.
26 Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap, nor do they gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth more than they?
Preciosos aos olhos de Deus
O Senhor declara que somos preciosos e valiosos aos seus olhos. Ele nos chama de propriedade exclusiva e nos reveste de glória.
O verdadeiro valor
A Bíblia nos ensina que a fé, a integridade e o caráter são mais valiosos que ouro ou prata. O que tem valor eterno transcende o material.
6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but faith working through love.
24 But I count myself as nothing; nor do I regard my life as valuable to myself, so that I may complete my course with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to bear solemn testimony to the gospel of the grace of God.
