God Put a Price Tag on You
Devotional Reading: “For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.” – 1 Corinthians 6:20
Have you ever gone shopping and looked at an item’s price tag, then quickly returned it to the shelf because the amount could buy you a small plot of land? That tells you something: price reflects value. Nobody pays a huge amount for something worthless. Now here’s the jaw dropping truth, God paid the highest possible price for you. He didn’t use silver, gold, or diamonds. He paid with the blood of Jesus. That means heaven’s valuation of you is “priceless.”
In all honesty, sometimes we don’t feel that valuable. We compare ourselves with others: “She’s smarter,” “He’s richer,” “They’re more talented.” We even joke about ourselves in ways that slowly chip away at our confidence. But imagine this: if Christ’s blood is the price tag on you, how dare you call yourself cheap? If God went all in to redeem you, no earthly label, no past mistake, no family background can downgrade you.
Think about how collectors treat expensive art (if you have seen a movie related to that). If someone owns a painting worth billions, they guard it, insure it, and hang it where everyone knows it is valuable. That’s how God handles you. He didn’t purchase you to abandon you. He protects you, invests in you, and delights in showing you off as His masterpiece. When you wake up tomorrow, look in the mirror and say, “Paid in full!” That’s your spiritual receipt.
From today, shift your mindset. Don’t live cheap when you were bought at a premium. Don’t downplay your worth to fit in with people who don’t understand heaven’s currency. Walk tall, think boldly, and live gratefully. You are living proof that God doesn’t waste resources. Yes, you are His treasure.
Prayer and Confession
Father, thank You for paying the ultimate price for me. I declare that I am valuable, priceless, and redeemed. I will not think cheap thoughts or live like I am worthless. My life belongs to You, and I will glorify You with everything I do. Amen.
