The Worth of Man

What is man worth? Man has great worth because God shed his blood for them. The Psalmist David was amazed at the value God placed on humans.

Psalms 8:4-6 - "what is mankind that you are mindful of them,
    human beings that you care for them?

⁵ You have made them a little lower than the angels
    and crowned them with glory and honor.
⁶ You made them rulers over the works of your hands;
    you put everything under their feet:^"

^{What a deep questions that David asked God. I don't think it is a question that we can answer. When we think about how much God loves us and how elevated position he has given us, it is quite amazing. He values us more than anything else in His creation. We are the pinnacle of His handy work. I would even dare to say that he has put greater value on us than even His angels.}

^{Hebrews 1:14 - "} Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?"

Hebrews 2:16 - " For surely it is not angels he helps, but Abraham’s descendants.^"

^{God didn't send his Son to die for the fallen angels, but us. Wow! Now be careful you don't get puffed up with pride. His great love for us and consideration of us has nothing to do with some great innate worth that we have.}

^{To God be all the glory! Amen!}
