YOU ARE PRICELESS

JUDE 1:3- "Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the Saints"

1 PETER 1: 18-19-" For as much as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; (19) But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a Lamb without blemish and without spot "

Our salvation process is the same: The same Grace, not minding how far gone we were in sin. The value of our salvation can't be compared with the best things in life like gold and silver.

For us to fully understand this, we need to know a little about gold and silver: Gold and silver are a type of money but worth far more than paper currency. The average life expectancy of paper currency is 27 yrs but gold and silver date back more than 5,000 yrs. Gold and silver are universally accepted and though they fluctuate, they can never lose their purchasing power.

God is saying our salvation is much more valuable. The value of the blood of Jesus Christ far surpasses the value of gold and silver.
The blood of Christ added real value to us.
When you understand your value, there are certain things you won't do. Understanding ur value makes u contend for your faith earnestly.

To contend means many things. It means to fight a good fight of faith. It means to maintain and assert your right/ privilege in Christ. It also means to stand firmly on the Word of God without changing or backing out.
As you go on in this new year, the year of All Sufficiency, don't you ever doubt the work of your salvation.
Don't ever doubt the Words He has given you.
Don't ever allow your salvation and walk with Him be rubbished by whatever.
Happy new year to you all. I love you.
