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 an assar? And one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father;30 and of you -- even the hairs of the head are all numbered;31 be not therefore afraid, than many sparrows you are better.
12 How much better, therefore, is a man than a sheep? -- So that it is lawful on the sabbaths to do good.'
6 'Are not five sparrows sold for two assars? and one of them is not forgotten before God,7 but even the hairs of your head have been all numbered; therefore fear you not, than many sparrows you are of more value.
26 Look to the fowls of the heaven, for they do not sow, nor reap, nor gather into storehouses, and your heavenly Father does nourish them; are not you 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.
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 avails anything, nor uncircumcision, but faith through love working.
24 but I make account of none of these, neither do I count my life precious to myself, so that I finish my course with joy, and the ministration that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify fully the good news of the grace of God.
