Am I worth anything?
Manage episode 472793197 series 2858850
Our value as humans comes directly from God who created us wonderfully complex and paid the ultimate price through Christ's blood. When we understand this divine measurement of worth, we can resist cultural messages that devalue human life and live with joy and peace that terrifies the enemy.
• God's initial creation of humans in His image was declared "very good" in Genesis 1
• Psalm 139 describes us as "wonderfully and fearfully made" with every day of our lives recorded in God's book
• Contemporary culture and media often communicate that humans are burdens rather than blessings
• The blood of Jesus is described as "the most valuable substance ever to be on the earth"
• When we devalue ourselves, we essentially claim God miscalculated our worth
• Our enemy hates us because we have something he lost forever: God's presence and love
• True joy and peace in a believer's heart is powerful spiritual warfare
• The time of grace is coming to an end; judgment approaches where all accounts will be settled
Give your life to the Lord today. Don't make excuses for sin. Jesus has made a way - He is the way, the truth, and the life, and He's willing to wash you clean today.
