What Are You Worth?

What Are You Worth?

Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; 1 Peter 1:18 (KJV)

Today, I would like to talk to you about what you are worth. It is vitally important that you come to understand your value. If you are not convinced of your inestimable worth then you may sell yourself short.

If you have ever watched the Antique Road Show program you will soon realize that many of the folks you see with extremely valuable pictures, vases, art work, or other memorabilia, found them at little or no cost on someone else's trash heap or garage sale. The previous owner did not know the value of what they had.

Satan will do anything to get you to believe that you are worthless or worth very little. If he can deceive you in this area you will sell out for almost any price.

The truth, however, is that you are priceless. Your value has been established by God Almighty Himself.

But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: 1 Peter 1:19 (KJV)

He paid the highest price of heaven for you. You are one-of-a-kind and worth everything to Him. He gave His only begotten Son, His most prized possession, for you. Don't sell yourself short.

You are so important to Him that He chose to live in you (1 Cor. 3:16; 2 Cor. 6:16). He made you a king and priest (Rev. 1:6; 5;10).

There is not a man or woman on earth that can pay what you are worth. Don't sell your body, your integrity, your ministry, your anointing, for any amount of money. You are worth more than that. Besides you are not your own.

For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's. 1 Corinthians 6:20 (KJV); 7:23).
