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 »Do two sparrows sell for a penny? Not one of them will fall on the ground without your Father knowing.30 »Even the hairs of your head are all numbered.31 »Do not fear! You are more valuable than many sparrows.
12 »How much more value is a man than a sheep! Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath day!«
6 »Are not five sparrows sold for two coins of small value? Yet not one of them is forgotten in the sight of God.7 »Even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So do not fear. You are worth more than many sparrows.
26 »Look at the birds of the sky, they do not sow, nor reap, nor gather into barns. Your heavenly Father feeds them. Are 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.
4 »I honor you because you are precious to me and I love you. I will exchange others for you. Nations will be the price I pay for your life.
5 If you will obey me and are faithful to the terms of my covenant, then out of all the nations you will be my own special possession, for all the earth is mine.
1 »Arise O woman and shine! Your light has come, and the glory of Jehovah beams on you.
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 means anything, nor uncircumcision, but faith working through love.
3 Do not let kindness and truth leave you. Bind them around your neck. Write them on the tablet of your heart.4 You will find kindness and understanding in the sight of God and man.
20 The tongue of the righteous is like choice silver. The heart of the wicked has little worth.
10 Who can find a virtuous woman? For her value is far above corals.
24 »I do not consider my life of any account. It is not dear to me so that I may finish the race, and I may accomplish the ministry I received from the Lord Jesus, to preach the good news of the grace of God.
