You (#3) have extreme value in the eyes of God

YOU ARE A BRANCH OF THE TRUE VINE

(John 15:5-8 KJV)
I am the vine, ye are the branches:
He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit:
for without me ye can do nothing.
{6} If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered;
and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
{7} If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
{8} Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit;
so shall ye be my disciples.

JESUS CHRIST CONSIDERS YOU TO BE HIS BROTHER

(Heb 2:11-15 KJV)
For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one:
for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,
{12} Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren,
in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee.
{13} And again, I will put my trust in him.
And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me.
{14} Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood,
he also himself likewise took part of the same;
that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;
{15} And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

THOUGH YOU WERE FAR OFF, YOU ARE BROUGHT NEAR TO GOD BY THE BLOOD OF CHRIST

(Rom 5:9-11 KJV)
Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
{10} For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son,
much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
{11} And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
by whom we have now received the atonement.

(1 Cor 6:9-11 KJV)
Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God?
Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers,
nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
{10} Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers,
nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
{11} And such were some of you:
but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus,
and by the Spirit of our God.

YOU ARE BUILT UP INTO A SPIRITUAL HOUSE AND A HOLY PRIESTHOOD

(1 Pet 2:5-8 KJV)
Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood,
to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
{6} Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious:
and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.
{7} Unto you therefore which believe he is precious:
but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed,
the same is made the head of the corner,
{8} And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence,
even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient:
whereunto also they were appointed.

WE ARE BURIED WITH CHRIST BY BAPTISM,
AND RAISED TO NEWNESS OF LIFE IN HIM

(Rom 6:4-12 KJV)
Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death:
that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father,
even so we also should walk in newness of life.
{5} For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death,
we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
{6} Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed,
that henceforth we should not serve sin. {7} For he that is dead is freed from sin.
{8} Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:
{9} Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more;
death hath no more dominion over him. {10} For in that he died, he died unto sin once:
but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.
{11} Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin,
but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
{12} Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.

WE ARE CALLED UNTO THE ETERNAL GLORY OF CHRIST

(1 Pet 5:6-11 KJV)
Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God,
that he may exalt you in due time:
{7} Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
{8} Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about,
seeking whom he may devour: {9} Whom resist stedfast in the faith,
knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.
{10} But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. {11} To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

WE CAN EXPERIENCE INNER PEACE FROM GOD

(Phil 4:4-7 KJV)
Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.
{5} Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.
{6} Be careful{Grk=full of cares} for nothing;
but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
{7} And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding,
shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

GOD RENEWS OUR STRENGTH

(Isa 40:28-31 KJV)
Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard,
that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary?
there is no searching of his understanding.
{29} He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.
{30} Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:
{31} But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings as eagles;
they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

BY REGENERATION, GOD CHANGES YOU INTO A NEW PERSON

(1 Sam 10:6-7,9-10 KJV)
And the spirit of the LORD will come upon thee, and thou shalt prophesy with them,
and shalt be turned into another man.
{7} And let it be, when these signs are come unto thee, that thou do as occasion serve thee;
for God is with thee. ...
{9} And it was so, that when he had turned his back to go from Samuel, God gave him another heart:
and all those signs came to pass that day.
{10} And when they came thither to the hill, behold, a company of prophets met him;
and the spirit of God came upon him, and he prophesied among them.

IF YOU RECEIVE CHRIST, GOD MAKES YOU HIS CHILD

(John 1:12-14 KJV)
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God,
even to them that believe on his name:
{13} Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
{14} And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us,
(and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

YOU ARE TENDERLY LOVED BY GOD

(Isa 40:10-11 KJV)
Behold, the Lord GOD will come with strong hand,
and his arm shall rule for him: behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him.
{11} He shall feed his flock like a shepherd:
he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom,
and shall gently lead those that are with young.

(Psa 25:6-13 KJV)
Remember, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses;
for they have been ever of old.
{7} Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions:
according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness' sake, O LORD.
{8} Good and upright is the LORD: therefore will he teach sinners in the way.
{9} The meek{Heb=humble, lowly} will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.
{10} All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep{Heb=obey} his covenant and his testimonies.
{11} For thy name's sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniquity; for it is great.
{12} What man is he that feareth the LORD?
him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose.
{13} His soul shall dwell at ease;
and his seed{Heb=decendents} shall inherit the earth.

(Rev 7:13-17 KJV)
And one of the elders answered, saying unto me,
What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?
{14} And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me,
These are they which came out of great tribulation,
and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
{15} Therefore are they before the throne of God,
and serve him day and night in his temple:
and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.
{16} They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more;
neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.
{17} For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them,
and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters:
and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.
