~ 7 Things of Incomparable Value ~
“Therefore, to you who believe, He is precious” (1
Peter 2:7a).
Precious Blood
~ “You
were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your
aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a
lamb without blemish and without spot” (1 Peter
1:18-19).
Precious Cornerstone
~ “Therefore
thus says the Lord God: ‘Behold, I
lay in Zion a stone for a foundation, a tried stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation; whoever believes will
not act hastily’” (Isaiah 28:16). “Therefore it is also contained in the Scripture, ‘Behold, I lay
in Zion a chief cornerstone, elect, precious, and he who believes on Him will
by no means be put to shame’” (1 Peter 2:6).
Precious Stones
~ “For
we are God's fellow workers; you are God's field, you are God's building. According to the grace of God which was given
to me, as a wise master builder I have laid the foundation, and another builds
on it. But let each one take heed how he
builds on it. For no other foundation
can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if anyone builds on this foundation with
gold, silver, precious stones, wood,
hay, straw, each one’s work will become clear; for the Day will declare it,
because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one's work, of
what sort it is. If anyone’s work which
he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward. If anyone’s work is burned, he will suffer
loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire” (1
Corinthians 3:9-15).
Precious Faith ~ “Simon
Peter, a bondservant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have obtained
like precious faith with us by the
righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ: grace and peace be multiplied
to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord” (2
Peter 1:1-2).
Precious Promises
~ “His
divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness,
through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, by which have been given to us exceedingly great and
precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine
nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust” (2
Peter 1:3-4).
The
Most Precious of All ~ “Therefore it is also
contained in the Scripture, ‘Behold, I lay in Zion
a chief
cornerstone, elect, precious, and he who believes on Him will by no means be
put to shame.’ Therefore, to you who believe, He is precious; but
to those who are disobedient, ‘The stone which the
builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone,’ and ‘A stone of stumbling
and a rock of
offense.’ They stumble, being
disobedient to the Word, to which they also were appointed” (1
Peter 2:6-8).
Precious Death ~ “Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints” (Psalm
116:15).
