Mark 8:36, 37
Our text passage emphasizes the value of a human soul, the value of your soul.
If no one has ever told you before that you are valuable, accept it right now that you are.
You are valuable and you are loved, this is what God wants you to know through this teaching.
We live in a world where we have many things upside down compared to how things should be, when they are compared to how God intended them to be.
We operate with belief systems and philosophies that contradict the Bible, no matter how intelligent they sound.
Colossians 2:8
Our priorities have been misplaced, we value material things over people, we use people and love material things instead of using material things and loving people.
God loves people and we should love people, especially those of the household of faith, God's people.

John 13:34
You are more valuable to God than all the riches of this world.
Your soul is the most valuable creation on earth.
It is sad to see people sell themselves cheaply to the kingdom of darkness in exchange for fame and riches.
This is happening in many sectors of life from the business industry, to the academic, the spiritual and the music industry,
Nobody needs to sell his or her soul to Satan to stand out in life or have uncommon success.
God gives success, God grants distinctions, and God gave His own soul for humanity, so you don't have to give yours to the enemy.

2 Peter 2:9
It is worth having God's perspective about you as you journey through life.
See yourself from the lens of the scriptures.
Know who you are.
You are who God says you are.
May you see yourself and your fellow man the way God sees us.
Value yourself.
God has placed value on you!
