1. You are VALUABLE! In human experience
it is a rare thing for one man to give his life
for another, even if the latter be a good man,
though there have been a few who have had the
courage to do it. Yet the proof of Gods amazing
love is this that it was while we were sinners
that Christ died for us. Romans 57,8
Phillips
8
For consider your calling, brethren, that
there were not many wise according to the flesh,
not many mighty, not many noble but God has
chosen the foolish things of the world to shame
the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of
the world to shame the things which are strong,
and the base things of the world and the despised
God has chosen, the things that are not, so that
He may nullify the things that are, so that no
man may boast before God. 1 Corinthians
126-29
9
But by His doing you are in Christ Jesus, who
became to us wisdom from God, and righteousness
and sanctification, and redemption, so that, just
as it is written, "LET HIM WHO BOASTS, BOAST IN
THE LORD. 1 Corinthians 130,31
10
2. You are SIGNIFICANT! Consider the
incredible love that the Father has shown us in
allowing us to be called children of God-and
that is not just what we are called, but what we
are. Our heredity on the God-ward side is no
mere figure of speech which explains why the
world will no more recognize us than it
recognized Christ. Oh, dear children of mine
(forgive the affection of an old man), have you
realized it? 1 John 31,2 Phillips
11
3. You are ABLE! I can do all things
through Christ Who strengthens me. Philippians
413 And He has said to me, My grace is
sufficient for you, for power is perfected in
weakness. Most gladly, therefore, I will rather
boast about my weaknesses, that the power of
Christ may dwell in mefor when I am weak, then I
am strong. 2 Corinthians 129,10
