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.
 
Indeed, agree 100%. It's only when I fully understand and know my worth in God's eyes that I begin to appreciate the worth of others. Hence I can only share what I have.
 
​In my father's house are many mansions, if it were not I would of not told you, "bible verse" God is not cheap, he gives plenty, and plenty was left over of the fish's and bread, thousands left , from 2 fish, a bread. This is the Love of God, there was a Ukrainian girl during the holocost hunger that killed over 7 million ukrainians, from the communist party. She went over to a bakery communist, and held out her hand in hope the baker would come out, as she stood there crying, he did come out with a knife and cut across her palm, she died from the shock. Evil's hatred is filty, cruel, and evil cold as death, to the spirit, the Love of God, we can't measure. :)
