We're Valuable Because of the Name!

I had the most interesting revelation when shopping for a pair of shoes....it was about my value and Christ's name. See if you agree. #BibleLoveNotes #Bible #Devotions

While shopping, I saw a pair of simple canvas shoes. They were the same quality as similar less-expensive footwear. But they had the name “Kate Spade” sewn on top and that made the price four times higher.

It’s amazing that a name can increase the value of something so far beyond it’s worth.

Then I realized: I’m like those Kate Spade shoes!

You see, I was once a worthless sinner (Romans 3:12). Then Jesus marked me with His name. And my value increased far beyond my worth because His name is above all names (Philippians 2:9).

“And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit.” Ephesians 1:13

Next time you see something overpriced because it bears a particular name, realize the same is true of you if you love Jesus.

  3. This is such a great analogy and so true. We are one of a kind, aren't we? And that seal of His will never be removed or lost or marked down! :) Thanks so much for linking up to "Making Your Home Sing Monday!"
