Bible Discussion Thread

In a world where we tend to find our worth in worldly possession and pleasures and materiality, it is better to take Luke 12:15 to heart.

When Jesus said, take heed, and beware of the covetousness: for a man's life consisted not in the abundance of the things which he possesses.

Pray for Bible believing Christians, and even the heathens to find their worth in Jesus Christ always.

Hello Sandra,

It is truly a blessing to come to the assurance of God's great love for us and the many ways He blesses us, HIs children. We do not deserve anything good from God, but in His mercy and grace, He brings us to Him and renews us to new life from our dead in sin position. Our worth is this, that God loved us and gave Himself for us. It is a kindness that He did so. It is a gift that He calls us to Himself through the gospel.

I know at times when I feel rejected, misunderstood or mistreated by others, I take comfort in remembering that I belong to Jesus, the King over all! Even as this position in Christ as a son or daughter of the Father is so precious, I try to remember that it is Jesus who's worth is far beyond any other. He is worthy of all the glory, honor, and praise we choose to give Him and so much more. His value is not something we can acquire or ourselves or truly know because of His abounding excellency.

I love what Hebrews says about keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus. That is a way to live each day that will bring us much joy and gratitude towards God.

Thanks for bringing this topic up today as it caused me to align my worth with the good pleasure and grace of God in Christ Jesus.
