How much are we worth?

Let me put you in a picture. If I offer a car for sale, which I think is worth £6000, and the offers are made ranging from £2000 to £9000, how much is the car worth?

Is it the £6000 that I thought it was worth? Or a low ball offer of £2000?

The car is worth what the highest bidder is willing to pay in the open market. People are traded in a spiritual and eternal market. We are not worth what we happen to think, or any low ball offer. We are worth what the highest bidding offer the bidder will pay. The highest bidder is God, and the price tag is the cross. God looked out across the eternal ages and said, “I’ll take that one, even though the price is steep!” Our worth is established once and for all, and can never change or diminish. God has made the ultimate offer and paid the highest price. There is a verse in the bible in Matthew 10: 29 & 31 that will help you understand that you are worth more to God than anything on earth.

Supporting Scriptures:

Matthew 10: 29, 31. “Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father. So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

Again (this is the second time that I'm calling you out for this today and I called you out for it once before as well), if you are going to cite somebody else's work, then please provide a link to the same:

In Gods eyes we were worth sending His Son. SO you are worth His Blood being shed.

How much are we worth? In the eyes of God we are the pearl of great price. He gave up all for us as the parable says.

The last I read was about ten years ago, and it was just a little more than one US Dollar then.

Mat 16:26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

God values your soul but do you value your own soul?

Christ left His glory in heaven to atone for your sin by shedding His blood on an old Roman cross. What do you hold so dear that you would perish rather than give it to Christ?

For the cross of Christ

Inflation, and the skyrocketing costs of some elements that were once thought not so useful but now are. We're now at $160.03.

Knowing that you, Willie, already know this, I'll say it for whomever else needs to see it: What man will pay for the elements and compounds within the human body is nothing compared to the price Jesus paid on the cross for our souls, which He counts as priceless.
