Isaiah 53:8 He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.
Therefore, when we look at the ways in which folks are valued by the world, it seems as nonsense when compared to how God values us, and when we see ourselves and all others through the lens of Christ’s sacrifice, it could, and should greatly change our perspectives on life.
One of the immediate benefits of understanding the valuation of persons, as God sees it, is that persons are no longer tethered to secular, worldly methods of esteeming oneself, and as a direct result, we can live untrammeled by all the must haves, and must dos that society bogs persons down with.
The Bible states that if The Son shall make you free, you shall be free indeed, and therefore, whenever we understand the real value and worth of persons, we would not become slaves of fashion, or esteem ourselves and others by worldly standards. Instead, we can stand free and clear of the petty valuations that secular society deems essential.
Isaiah 53:10 Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
