How much are you worth? Not talking about money. We confuse self-worth with net worth, but they are very different. Your value has nothing to do with your valuables. How much are you worth? There was once an article written in the Journal of Hospital Practice that calculated how much each of the enzymes, hormones, and all the different things in our bodies are worth. The author added them up, and if you are an average-sized person, you are worth six million, fifteen dollars and forty-four cents ($6,000,015.44) based on your weight. You’re a six-million-dollar man or woman! The article’s author also estimated that it would cost about six thousand trillion dollars if you calculate the cost of creating each cell in your body. You are priceless. Jesus thought this was so important that he took a whole chapter of the Bible to talk about it. In Luke 15, he tells three stories — the lost son, the lost coin, and the lost sheep. It’s the same punch line in each story. Jesus says, “You matter!” You matter to God. You are valuable. God says you are valuable because he loves and has accepted you in Christ.
