Any value attributed to us cannot be based upon ourselves. If God loves us, and He does, then the value that we have is intrinsic to HIS love, and HIS sacrifice for us: the shed blood of Christ does not demonstrate our value, but rather God's love for us, apart from any merit on our part.<br />Yet to say that God does not value us James J.
