Worth of a Soul
Posted in Scripture StudiesApril 4
Worth of a Soul: God Gave His Only Son
.Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? Matthew 16:26
In the world's markets, something which has no value for a disinterested
person may be considered of great value to another who desires it and
purchases it. In this sense, we may learn how dear and precious we are to
Christ by what He was willing to give for us!
Many Christians are tempted to downgrade themselves too much. I am not
arguing against true humility and my word to you is this: Think as little of
yourself as you want to, but always remember that our Lord Jesus Christ
thought very highly of you-enough to give Himself for you in death and
sacrifice!
If the devil comes to you and whispers that you are no good, don't argue
with him. In fact, you may as well admit it, but then remind the devil:
"Regardless of what you say about me, I must tell you how the Lord feels
about me. He tells me that I am so valuable to Him that He gave Himself for
me on the cross!"
So the value is set by the price paid-and in our case, the price paid was
our Lord Himself, and the end that the Saviour had in view was that He might
redeem us from all iniquity, that is, from the power and consequences of
iniquity.
One of Wesley's hymns speaks of "the double cure" for sin. The wrath of God
against sin and the power of sin in the human life-both of these were dealt
with when Christ gave Himself for us. He redeemed us with a double cure!
