Man is the great masterpiece of our Creator God. When dust of the earth which is the lesser material and becomes valuable and precious, then that is our privilege before God.
Land which is not valuable and worth becomes something special in the works of His hands. Humans are very precious on earth, why? Because human is human. We are valuable as we are human. How much does the cost? Man is worth as the price of image of God which is in a man.
Precious is useful, valuable is beneficial, it's worth a high price and it is expensive. It is worth and has a quality. While noble has a good values, dignified and high quality. And we are valuable and noble, you and I, we are God's creation.
Are we willing to spend millions money for something that is not valuable? Of course not. Spending much money for something worthwhile certainly will not make us disappointed. So is God who sent His only begotten son Jesus Christ to redeem His precious people.
We are so valuables and noble, not only seen from the terms of creation of low material into being special creature, but is also seen in God's great love for us, sent His only Son, Jesus Christ, to save us.
When God sees man valuable and precious, then we should appreciate ourselves and our fellowmen sincerely
