The value that was placed on my life was determined by the cost that was paid for me. See the cross isn't just the revelation of my sin, it's the revealing of my value.

00:12

Something underneath of that sin must have been of great value for heaven to go bankrupt to get me back. So Jesus paid such a high price for me on that truth and when

00:21

I see that, I see my value. So when I look at the cross, in the world if you're going to buy a car and someone says hey

00:27

I want you to give me $150 ,000 for this car that's worth $3 ,000, you'd never do it because it's not worth it.

00:33

Well if in the world what's paid for something determines the value of that thing, then that's what heaven did to purchase me.

00:40

That must make me of very great value to the Father. See we've said that we're worthless and we're worms in the dirt.

00:47

Because that's what the Bible says. All have turned aside, together they have become worthless. No one is good, not even one person.

00:54

We're worthy of God's righteous wrath. But God being rich in mercy because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our sins, made us alive together with Christ.

01:05

By grace you have been saved. And raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus.

01:11

So that he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ.

01:18

You are not worth dying for. If you are worth dying for, grace isn't grace. God saved us because he's great, not because we're great.

01:25

We have sinned against God and we're worthless. Jesus makes us worthy. So turn from your sin and worship him when we understand the text.
