When considering your value

“Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.” (Matt. 10:31 ESV)

You are valuable because you were made in God’s image

“Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.” (Gen. 1:26-27 ESV)

You are valuable because you’re wonderfully made by God

“I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well.” (139:14 ESV)

You are valuable as a child of God!

“But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God…” (John 1:12 ESV)

You are valuable because you were bought with the precious blood Of Christ 

“You were bought with a price; do not become slaves of men.” (2 Cor. 7:23 ESV) 

Therefore…

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. (2 Cor. 5:17 ESV)
