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!
Are not two sparrows sold for a copper coin? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father’s will. Why even the hairs of your head are all numbered! Therefore do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.
Of how much more value then is a man than a sheep! Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath."
Are not five sparrows sold for two copper coins? Yet not one of them is forgotten before God. Even the hairs of your head are all numbered! So do not be afraid; you are far more valuable than sparrows!
Look at the birds of the air, that they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not superior to them?
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.
Because in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but faith working through love.
However none of this moves me, nor do I regard my life as valuable to myself, just so that I may complete my course with joy, even the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to solemnly proclaim the Good News of the grace of God.
