How valuable are you?

He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? (Romans 8:32 NKJV)

Think about it... This is the essence of the Christian faith. If you actually believe that God indeed sacrificed his son to pay for our sins then this verse is a wonderful promise.

The verse speaks to how valuable we are to him. It goes right along with Matthew 7:11 which says "If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!"

How true! We love to give our children good gifts. Sometimes we provide for them even when we don't think they deserve it.

So how much more will he provide for us? How much do we negate His provision by our lack of faith and disbelief of our own worth to him? Many of us don't even think we are worth anything in our own minds let alone worth anything to God!

So the key question to ask yourself is, how valuable are you? The answer should be: valuable enough for God to sacrifice his most priced possession. Now frame that thought as you go about your day and you will get a new attitude and a new perspective as you walk in the light of his provision.
