Biblical Answer

Understanding Our Worth

When considering the question of whether we are worth saving, we must first understand our inherent value as human beings. The Bible teaches that we were "bought with a great price" (1 Cor. 6:20), not with perishable things like silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Jesus Christ. This means that we have immense worth and value, not because of our actions or accomplishments, but because of the price paid for us by our Creator.

Evaluating Our Worth

We often try to evaluate our worth by comparing ourselves to others or by keeping track of our good deeds versus our bad ones. However, this approach is flawed and can lead to feelings of guilt, shame, and inadequacy. Instead, we should focus on the value that God places on us, which is immeasurable. Our worth is not determined by our performance or achievements, but by our relationship with Jesus Christ. When we come to Jesus, we are not asked to pay a price for our salvation, but rather to surrender our lives to Him. This surrender brings us peace, freedom, and joy, which is far greater than anything we could gain through our own efforts.

Embracing Our Value

So, rather than questioning our worth, we should ask ourselves, "How much do I want to be joyful, peaceful, and free?" When we surrender our lives to Jesus, we gain a thousand times more than we give up. This is the essence of grace – receiving something of immense value without having to earn it. Our worth is not something we need to prove or earn; it is something we receive as a gift from God. By embracing our value in Jesus Christ, we can experience a life of purpose, hope, and comfort, and live a life that reflects the love and value that God has for us.
