Our Worth to God

But God proves His love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, to give you a future and a hope.

So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

Because you are precious and honored in My sight, and because I love you, I will give men in exchange for you and nations in place of your life.

For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.

But He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is perfected in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly in my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest on me.

I have been crucified with Christ, and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.

Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God.

And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

And we know that God works all things together for the good of those who love Him, who are called according to His purpose.

But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or height, for I have rejected him; the LORD does not see as man does. For man sees the outward appearance, but the LORD sees the heart.”
