Topic: Your Value To God

We must be clear and emphatic about the following point. We are fallen but we are not worthless. We are fallen creatures but we are still redeemable. We are not garbage that must be thrown out, but creatures who God wants to restore, redeem, and make new again. We are each like an old table covered with several layers of paint, varnish, dirt, dents, and scratches. For some people, this old table appears worthless and would be classified as junk. However, to the eye of a trained antique collector this old table has value and worth. To someone who collects antiques and who refinishes them, the varnish, paint, dirt, dents, and scratches are ignored. The collector uses a kind of x-ray vision to see through the surface layers into the wood. The wood and its shape is what ultimately give the table its value. Likewise, God can see all of you. To God, you are more precious than all the riches of the universe. It is because God sees your value and worth that He sent His Son to die for you.
