Proverbs 22:2 NASB95 The rich and the poor have a common bond, The LORD is the maker of them all.
This is Truth! It is God's view.
You have a good job, a loving family, and everything you need. You are of great worth.
You have no place to live, your family has turned their back on you, and you can't find a job. You are a mess.
These are lies! They are the views of fallen men.
The fallen world gives people value based on their worldly possessions. God gives people value based on their creator.
God says to the person with great earthly wealth, John 3:16 NASB95 “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.
God says to the person with no earthly treasures, John 3:16 NASB95 “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.
His word is the same to both because their worth has nothing to do with them and all to do with Him!
You have a good job, a loving family, and everything you need. You are special.
You have no place to live, your family has turned their back on you, and you can't find a job. You are special.
Genesis 1:27 NASB95 —God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.
Philippians 4:19 NASB95 And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
The rich and the poor have a common bond, The LORD is the maker of them all. God created man in His own image. God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
The common bond is the LORD.
You are special because of God.
A child colors outside the lines and says it is worth $500 a family member gives the child $500 for it. Others look at it and say it isn't worth it. They are wrong. It brought $500 because its creator said that is what it is worth, and the purchase agreed. It doesn't matter what others say.
God formed you in your mother's womb and said you are priceless and worthy of eternal life. Jesus looked at you and said I agree. I will purchase you with my life. It doesn't matter what others say, your Creator and your Purchaser say you are special. Therefore you are!
The rich and the poor have a common bond, The LORD is the maker of them all.
If we would trust the truth of scripture we would realize the sanctity of life. God created it, His Son purchased it, His Spirit desires to indwell it, All life is special!
