You are valuable because you were made in God’s image

You are valuable because God wonderfully made you

“I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well.” (Psalm 139:14 ESV)

You are valuable because you are a child of God

“But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.” (John 1:12 ESV)

You are valuable because you were bought with a price

“You were bought with a price; do not become slaves of men.” (1 Cor. 7:23 ESV)

Therefore
