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 half-penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground without your father.30 "The very hairs on your head are all numbered.31 "Cease to be afraid! You are of greater value than many sparrows.
12 "And how much more is a man worth than a sheep? Therefore it is right to do good on the Sabbath."
6 "Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings? Yet not one of them is forgotten in the sight of God!7 "But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not! You are of more value than many sparrow!
26 "Behold! the birds in the sky! They neither sow, nor reap, nor gather into barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds them; and are not you 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.

24 But I hold not my life of any account, as dear unto myself, if only I may run my race, and accomplish the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to attest the gospel of the grace of God.
