Deuteronomy 16:18 Judges and officers shalt thou make thee in all thy gates, which the Lord thy God giveth thee, throughout thy tribes: and they shall judge the people with just judgment.
Therefore, we must address the issue of valuating a person on the basis of what the Bible instructs us to do, for by doing so, we would avoid many of those pitfalls, temptations, and societal burdens which do hang like an Albatross around the necks of many.
Several distinct points on the issue would be made, with the supporting scriptures, so that all may stand free and clear in the liberty that Christ has gotten us on Calvary. A noble self-worth based upon the Bible is not only necessary, but also healthy, if we are to live independently of what the world, and society deems valuable.
We will begin with some of the more common, and state of the art misconceptions which have crept in over the years, that the world makes much of, then we will dwell on the scriptural methods of valuing a person, as it pertains to reality in God’s sight.
Deuteronomy 16:19 Thou shalt not wrest judgment; thou shalt not respect persons, neither take a gift: for a gift doth blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words of the righteous. 20 That which is altogether just shalt thou follow.
May The Lord add His blessing to he study of His word. God bless!
