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 penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground without your Father’s consent. And even the hairs of your head are all numbered. So do not be afraid; you are of more value than many sparrows.
Of how much more value is a person than a sheep! So then, it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath."
Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten in the sight of God. Indeed, even the hairs of your head are all numbered. So do not be afraid; you are of more value than many sparrows.
Look at the birds of the sky: They do not sow or reap or gather into barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value 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.
For in Christ Jesus neither does circumcision have any significance, nor uncircumcision, but what matters is faith working through love.
But I take no account of these things, nor do I regard my life as precious to myself, if only I may complete my course with joy and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.
