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!

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.
Ἐν γὰρ Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ οὔτε περιτομή τι ἰσχύει οὔτε ἀκροβυστία, ἀλλὰ πίστις δι᾿ ἀγάπης ἐνεργουμένη.
