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, for a farthing, sold? And, one from among them, shall not fall upon the ground, without your Father;30 But, even the hairs of, your, head, have all been numbered.31 Then be not in fearthan many sparrows, better are, ye!
12 How much better, then, a man, than, a sheep? So that it is allowable, on the sabbath, nobly, to act.
6 Are not, five sparrows, sold for two farthings? and, not one from among them, hath been forgotten before God.7 But, even the hairs of your head, have all been numbered: Be not afraid: many sparrows, ye excel.
26 Observe intently, the birds of the heaven,that they neither sow, nor reap, nor gather into barns, and yet, your heavenly Father, feedeth, them: Are no, ye, much better 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 Because thou art precious in mine eyes, art honoured And, I, love thee,And will give mankind, in thy stead, Yea, peoples, for thy life,
5 Now, therefore, if ye will, indeed hearken, to my voice, And keep my covenant, Then shall ye be mine as a treasure beyond all the peoples, For, mine, is all the earth;
1 Ariseshine, For thy light, hath come,And, the glory of Yahweh, on thee, hath beamed;
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, availeth anything, nor uncircumcision, but faith, through love, energising.
3 Lovingkindness and faithfulness, let them not forsake thee,bind them, upon thy neck, write them upon the tablet of thy heart:4 So find thou favour and good repute, in the eyes of God and man.
20 Choice silver, is the tongue of the righteous, but, the sense of the lawless, is very small.
10 A virtuous woman, who can find? for, far beyond corals, is her worth.
24 But, for no cause whatever, am I making my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my course and the ministry which I have received from the Lord Jesus, to bear full witness as to the good news of the favour of God.
