Overview
The Hebrew word hashubah expresses the idea of being held in high regard, precious, or valued. Throughout Scripture, believers are reminded that they possess immeasurable worth in God's eyes, not because of personal merit, but because of Christ's redemptive sacrifice and God's electing love.
Key Scriptures
"But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light" (1 Peter 2:9, ESV).
"See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are" (1 John 3:1, ESV).
"For you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body" (1 Corinthians 6:20, ESV).
Application
Recognize your infinite value as redeemed by Christ's blood, and live accordingly by stewarding your body and life for God's glory.
