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 not two sparrows sell for a halfpenny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground without your Father's leave.30 But as for you, the very hairs on your heads are all numbered.31 Away then with fear; you are more precious than a multitude of sparrows.
12 Is not a man, however, far superior to a sheep? Therefore it is right to do good on the Sabbath.«
6 Are not five sparrows sold for a penny? and yet not one of them is a thing forgotten in God's sight.7 But the very hairs on your heads are all counted. Away with fear: you are more precious than a multitude of sparrows.'
26 Look at the birds which fly in the air: they do not sow or reap or store up in barns, but your Heavenly Father feeds them: are not you of much greater 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.
6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision is of any importance; but only faith working through love.
24 But even the sacrifice of my life I count as nothing, if only I may perfect my earthly course, and be faithful to the duty which the Lord Jesus has entrusted to me of proclaiming, as of supreme importance, the Good News of God's grace.
