The Amazing Worth of a Believer

Have you ever wondered that the worth of a thing is equal to the price tag on it? In other words, how much you’re willing to pay for an item is your assessment of it’s worth.

Thus, how much your employer is willing to pay you, for instance, is their assessment of your worth. How nice is that? Believe it or not, your salary is equal to your worth as far as your employer is concerned. So if you earn say $50 a month, it means your boss did an evaluation of your abilities, skills, or competencies and decided to price it at $50.

But I have good news for you. Your worth is not determined by your pay check, neither is it measured by what you have, nor by occupying a position in society. Your worth is equal to the blood of Jesus. Hallelujah! Bible says we were “bought with a price” (1Corinthians 7:23). What was that price? It was the blood of the Son of the Living God. Can you imagine? That’s how valuable you are.

So treat yourself like a king. Because that‘s exactly who you are: you are a king because your Father is the King of kings.

Revelations 5:9 & 10:

“...For You [Christ] were slain, And have redeemed us to God by Your blood out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation, And have made us kings and priests to our God; And we shall reign on the earth”. (NKJV)

Amplified version makes it even clearer:

“…with Your blood You purchased men unto God from every tribe and language and people and nation. And You have made them a kingdom (royal race) and priests to our God, and they shall reign [as kings] over the earth!” (AMP)

The creator of the universe wanted you so much so He paid the highest price—His own blood—to get you. Wow!

Meanwhile, if you have not accepted Jesus Christ as your Saviour and Lord then you’re exempted from this rare honor. But right now you can join the company of priceless believers all over the world by saying this simple prayer:

Jesus, I believe you’re the Son of God. You paid the highest price for my redemption. Today, I receive you into my heart as my saviour and my Lord. Henceforth, I know I am born again; I am a Child of God. I am a new creation. I have eternal life. I am righteous. Thank you Lord! Amen!

Now, how valuable are you?

Congratulations if you said that prayer. The Word of God says you are now a new creature and old things are passed away. All things are become new (2 Corinthians 5:17). In other-words, God will never call your past life (sins/faults) to remembrance. They are totally forgiven and forgotten. Check this:

 

I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins. (Isaiah 43:25)

 

For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more (Hebrews 8:12 ) 

 

You are also encouraged to join a Bible Believing Church near you, in case you're not in one already, where you can grow in the Lord (1^st Peter 2:2 and 2^nd Samuel 7:10) .

The Power of Love

Love is the most powerful force in the universe (1st Corinthians 13:13).  Love can move any mountain—name it! God’s kind of love is an unshakable force that can break through any barricade or stronghold.

This love says “Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good” (Romans 12:21). In other words, don’t repay evil with evil; repay evil with good. Bless when they curse. And when they throw evil at you, quench it with the shield of faith and answer with good. The world only gets worse when we practice tit for tat.

I know of no other force that changes people than the force of love. It will change even the vilest person:

It turns sinners into saints

It turns a nasty husband into a loving, more compassionate one

It turns a mean, insubordinate wife to a humble, submissive one

It turns a rebellious child into a humble, sober one

No wonder scripture says, “Many waters cannot quench love” (Songs of Solomon 8:7). If love could be quenched then God can be quenched. Because God is love (1st John 4:16). That’s why love is so powerful. So when you engage this potent weapon, no devil can stop you.

13 key characteristics of love (based on 1st Corinthians 13)

1. Love does not base her actions on what the other person is doing. Love just loves
2. Love does not expect anything in return
3. Love is proactive; not reactive
4. Love covers all sins (Proverbs 10:12). It does not expose the sins/errors of the other person
5. Love is tenderhearted and quick to forgive
6. Love is patient—perhaps the most crucial attribute. It does not give up  easily on people
7. Love gives room for error—it does not crucify people for doing wrong
8. Love allows people to be themselves
9. Love gives room for the other person to grow
10. Love is attractive—it pulls like magnet. That’s why Jesus Christ (who is Love Himself) drew so much crowd to Himself during His earthly ministry (see Matthew 4:25, Matthew 8:1, Luke 5:15)
11. Love assumes/thinks the best of people
12. Many waters cannot quench love—love never fails 
13. And the ultimate: Love is a choice:

It is not a feeling or emotion. It is purely a choice. I guess this is what really makes love what it is.

“While we were yet sinners, Christ [chose to die] for us” (Romans 5:8, Paraphrased). He did not “feel” like dying—remember His prayer in the garden of Gethsemane—yet He chose to let the will of His Father be done (Matt 26:39-42).

With this eternal force at work in our lives, we can conquer the world!

Now, let us round up with a text from 1st John 4:9. It says:

In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.

From the text, it's clear that Jesus Christ (the only begotten Son of God) is God’s love manifested to humanity. That means, our journey into a love walk begins with accepting  Jesus Christ (i.e. God’s love) into our hearts. If you desire to do so, then may I invite you to say this simple prayer and mean it from your heart:

I believe that Jesus is the Son of God who came to die for my sins and I confess Him as Lord and Saviour.  Thank you Lord for saving me.  Amen.

Congratulations! if you said that prayer. The Word of God says you are now a new creature and old things are passed away. All things are become new (2 Corinthians 5:17). In other-words, God will never call your past life (sins/faults) to remembrance. They are totally forgiven and forgotten. Check this:

I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins. (Isaiah 43:25)

For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more (Hebrews 8:12 ) 

If you have said this prayer, we encourage you to get into a bible believing church near you where you can grow in the Lord (1st Peter 2:2 and 2nd Samuel 7:10) . Further, you can receive more inspiration by connecting on our social media handles below:
