       Let me demonstrate. Is a person in the Christian community who is famous, say, a famous minister, is that person more valued in God’s eyes? Someone might say, “Well, yes of course. So and so is much more valuable in God’s eyes than me. Look at all the work they do.” I would replay, “You are correct. This person does a lot of work, but that doesn’t make him a more valuable person.” The same person might reply, “How so? They have given lots of sermons, write many books, gone around the country. You’re crazy if you think that this person is not more valuable than us normal folk.” I would then say, “Yes, this person has done a lot of good. He’s spent his whole life and a lot of time doing that good. However, how does this make him more valuable than you or me in God’s eyes?” The reality is, the correct answer is, we are all equal in value in God’s eyes, no matter what we do with our lives. God has purchased us with a price, and yes, it’s the same price for all.
