Luke 12:6-7
Are not five sparrows sold for two cents? And yet not one of them is forgotten before God. Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear; you are of more value than many sparrows.

Jesus was speaking here reinforcing what had been spoken by the Lord through the prophet Isaiah long before when He said that we who have been redeemed and are called by name belong to Him and are precious in His sight. {Is.43:1-4} Precious means something that is of great value, something of great price—something treasured.

My value and yours is not determined by how much money you have in the bank or how much you get paid for your work at your job, how big your house is or how fancy your car is; your value is solely established by what God the Father was willing to pay for you! You and I, from the least to the greatest, from the best known to the least known, are worth Jesus Christ—exactly what the Father gave to pay for us. As the apostle Paul wrote, what the Word says, 'You were bought with a price.' {1Cor.6:20} And there was never one higher and never anything more precious.

If we can grasp that incredible most wonderful truth then we will be able to understand just what Paul surely did as he wrote to the believers in Rome and beyond: “What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things?” {Rom.8:31-32}

The foundational teaching for all who are disciples of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, is without doubt the Sermon on the Mount where He taught: “...do not be anxious for your life, as to what you shall eat, or what you shall drink; nor for your body, as to what you shall put on. Is not life more than food, and the body than clothing?...But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added to you.” {Mat.6:25,33}

Peter understood true value! As he and John were going up to the temple to pray they encountered a man who had been lame from birth and was begging for alms, for help as he did every day. Peter told the man that while he did not have silver or gold—money—he would give him what he did have; God’s love manifested in the most practical way. He said “In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene—walk!”

Seizing him by the right hand, Peter raised him up; and immediately the beggar’s feet and his ankles were strengthened and with a leap, he stood upright and began to walk! He entered the temple with Peter and John, walking and leaping and praising God! {Acts 3:2-8}

The Lord had used Peter to give a great and precious gift to that man. Every gift that the Lord has given to you and I has been given for us to serve one another as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. {1Pt.4:10} The more you give, the more you will have! {Prov.11:24-25}

P.S.: Please do not expect unsaved people to understand your value or your faith in God. Remember, do not expect righteous behavior from unrighteous people because as it is written,

“But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God; for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised.“  (2 Corinthians 2:14)

TEST EVERYTHING BY THE WORD OF GOD
