You Were Bought By The Blood Of Christ
Now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ.
Ephesians 2:13
What is the most expensive item you’ve ever purchased? A house? A car? Perhaps you quipped that you paid for the item with your blood, sweat and tears. Because it was so costly, this item undoubtedly has great value to you.

Each person who acknowledges their sin becomes the most expensive “item” God has ever purchased. The precious blood of his Son was the payment demanded to free us from our sin debt—one we couldn’t pay ourselves. This means we have great value to God. Once we were estranged, now—through the blood of Jesus—we “have been brought near.”
The next time you’re feeling as if you’re not valued, consider the price God paid for your life. It cost him his Son to show just how much you’re worth.
GOD’S PROMISE TO ME
• I bought you. You are mine.
• You have great worth.
MY PRAYER TO GOD
Lord, it’s difficult for me sometimes to comprehend such an amazing act of love. Since you paid the price for my sin, I choose to live for you.
