WHAT ARE YOU WORTH?

John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life."

 

Let me start by saying that "IF" there is a GOD (and there is) and "IF"we are created and not evolved (and we are created), then there is no price that can be put on human life. Well. . . No price that we can pay! Even if you had a bank account that could pay off the world's debt a million times and still have enough to buy every one in North America a tank of gas everyday until gas ran out (with inflation) you would still be short.

But it seems that we (humans) don't see it that way. The world would have you believe that you are nothing but the sum of a billion years of circumstance, culminated and defined by your failures and ultimately replaced after your death by someone who is better than you. All of that to carry the torch of evolution into the future.

However . . . We know that we are more than that lie. We are more than the picture that the world has painted us to be. We have a value that is not measurable. And remember we have not placed this price tag on ourselves. GOD has set the price for humanity. And believe me the price is more than what anyone on earth would agree to pay.


Q. Well how do you know how much something is worth?

A. Something is worth what someone else is willing to pay!


What did GOD pay for you? His law and standard said that as special as you are your sin renders you worthless and worthy of death. But what did GOD do? He paid with his own blood and life. And some of us won't even sow the seed of love, and respect into our own lives. We value the world over our own souls. We see the value the world places on us and live accordingly. But when you realize your true worth you will live each moment in that value. The value that GOD places on your life. The value that Satan hopes you will trade him for whatever the world is offering. Remember you are worth more than your past. You are worth more than who you used to be. Remember what GOD has invested into you and live accordingly.


Be encouraged!


I love you always and in all ways.

KNOW YOUR ROLL!

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. JERM 29:11 What is GOD Calling you to do. Are you seeking GOD's purpose for your own life or are you riding the coat tails of another? For years I fought the call of minister and pastor because the calling ran in my family. I wondered "am I projecting my own will into my life?" Was I only following my earthly role models? GOD does call us to respect and look to those soldiers in Christ that have answered their call of ministry. However GOD calls us to seek his will for our own lives. He has a special unique plan for each of us that is not designed after or a copy of someone else's. We need to stop saying the following: I want to be a pastor just like _______! I want to bless other financially just like_______! I want to be blessed just like ______! We should say this instead: I want to be like Christ when I be...

Never Lose You!

Mark 8:36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? _____________________________________________________ The world would have you believe that it has all of the answers.   The world will tell you that what you see, hear, feel, touch and smell is all that is real and worth living for.   But you may not know or understand that living for the rewards of this world come at a cost.   The world’s influence, when used as the blueprint for living, takes your heart and shapes it to its will leaving you an empty shell of who you really are. Nothing in this world is worth changing who you are in Christ.   There is no middle ground in the issue.   Yes, we are all a work in progress and live in this world, but who we are is not dictated by anything or anyone in this world.   Who you are is worth more than whatever this world has to offer.   Do not chase the image the world is selling you.   Unless...

COVERED!

So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. John 8:7 Even though we know better, do we live parts of our lives in secret as if GOD is not watching. We need to ask God to shine a light on the areas we need to fix.   Yes we need fixing. Just as no man could throw the first stone at the woman caught in adultery, we cannot cast any judgment on to anyone but ourselves. We do not deserve  anything but death because of our sin. If we are dirty, and in no way worthy of GOD’s attention, then WHY!?!?!,.   .even though we deserve the stones to be thrown upon us does GOD cover for us.   In this scripture we are manifested in the face of the adulterous woman.   At one point in our lives we have chosen our way over GOD’s way. Realize that when we choose our way over GOD’s way that is sin.   Just as Satan sinned when pride entered his heart and he vowed to r...
