KNOWING YOUR WORTH

KNOWING YOUR WORTH

By Alfred Jones

Every country's economy is measured by value of their currency and therefore if your currency is doing great then your economy is in safe hands and if it's not performing well there is fear of recession and therefore you need to prepare. Very many people value their lives according to their net worth that is what they have acquired and own by the works of their hands.
As Christians God valued as while we were still sinners and in his own assessment we were priceless and no amount of wealth or sacrifices could amount to our worth. Therefore Gods plan for salvation of mankind had to involve his most priced valued asset, most glorious sacrifice, most beloved, his only begotten son Jesus Christ our Lord not only leaving the throne to come to earth but also dying a shameful death on the old rugged cross at Calvary.

That is Gods unconditional love, he had to use his best to save his rest just because he loves us and that is our value. Jesus death on the cross to pay the price for our sin was to show his love for us. Therefore we are no longer valued by worldly standard of wealth, fame and education rather we are valued by the greatest sacrifice ever made that is the blood of Christ Jesus our Lord.

Once we realize our value then we will know what we ought to do, we ought to love him that loved us first and serve him with all our heart, mind and strength without fear for he who began the good work in us is faithful and will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.  All of us as Christians God have called us with a purpose to reach out to souls and show them the love of God and win souls for him.
"I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service."
AMEN
