What is your God is the creator of all things. (We may say this often, do we really stop and think about its significance)? God has created us all and provided us life (Gen. 2:7). He has created the heavens and the earth (Gen. 1:1), light (Gen. 1:3), day and night (Gen. 1:5), wet land and dry (Gen. 1:9), along with everything in this life. With all that God has done for us, the question is introduced, “If He has made all things, how valuable am I then, just another human?” This question can be answered by the Word of God. Consider (Matthew 12:9-13) READ Matthew 12:9-13

What is your Enough that God sent His Son to earth, and death on the cross John 3:16; Matthew 16:26 What is each person worth in the eyes of God? Each one is worth enough to God that He would send His only Son down from heaven to live as man and die for each individual. God deemed that each person’s soul is worth the death of His Son (John 3:16), “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” No dollar amount can be put on the worth of an individual’s soul (Matthew 16:26), “For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?” What we see from Christ’s sacrifice on the cross is that the worth of each person in God’s perspective is significantly high. Enough so, in fact, that Christ died for us.

What is your Enough that God sent His Son to earth, and death on the cross John 3:16; Matthew 16:26 More that the rest of God’s creation Matthew 6:26; Ecclesiastes 5:15-16; 12:7 What else are we, as humans, worth? Another way this question can be answered is by looking at the rest of God’s own creation. (Matthew 6:26) [Discussion of anxious concern for the morrow], “Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?” We are of much more value than the rest of God’s creation here on earth, because He has provided for us an immortal soul, as well as a plan of redemption to be saved from our past sins. Of all of God’s creation here on earth, we are at the top. Nothing is more important than our immortal soul. (Ecclesiastes 5:15-16), “As he came from his mother's womb, naked shall he return, to go as he came; and he shall take nothing from his labor which he may carry away in his hand. 16 And this also is a severe evil — just exactly as he came, so shall he go. And what profit has he who has labored for the wind?” (Ecclesiastes 12:7), “Then the dust will return to the earth as it was, and the spirit will return to God who gave it.”

What is your Enough that God sent His Son to earth, and death on the cross John 3:16; Matthew 16:26 More that the rest of God’s creation Matthew 6:26; Ecclesiastes 5:15-16; 12:7 Paul as an example 1 Timothy 1:12-13, 17 Paul was a man who could have considered himself less valuable because of his actions in persecuting the church. Despite persecuting Christ’s own church, he understood that God saw worth in him. (1 Timothy 1:12-13), “And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord who has enabled me, because He counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry, 13 although I was formerly a blasphemer, a persecutor, and an insolent man; but I obtained mercy because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.” A lack of a sense of self-worth (not pride) can potentially be a problem, especially after considering one’s own sinful ways. Rather than having low self-esteem and no appreciation of your individual worth, let us be like Paul, who glorified and honored God in acknowledgment and appreciation of his worth. Let us also see from this point that God sees value, worth, and potential in us all, no matter who we are or where we have come from! What a blessing that is to know! (1 Timothy 1:17), [His response to God’s mercy], “Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.”

1 Peter 5:7; Hebrews 13:5; Galatians 2:20 Conclusion 1 Peter 5:7; Hebrews 13:5; Galatians 2:20 We must see the value that God sees in us, and thank the Lord for His mercy and love! God cares for us (1 Peter 5:6-7), “Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, 7 casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.” God will never leave us (Hebrews 13:5), “Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, ‘I will never leave you nor forsake you.’" God loves us enough and sees enough worth in us that He sent down His Son to die for us (Galatians 2:20), “I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.” We must see the value that God sees in us, and thank the Lord for His mercy and love!
