98-Our Quality is built into us from our beginning.

A new baby is no threat to anyone. It has to learn to be bad.

Ecclesiastes 7:29 Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions.

Very few people recognize

Very few people recognize the depth of the spiritual quality God built into them. God made man upright. This is where we start. Foolish pride prompts man to invent a way to do it himself without God.

John 5:39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. (The scriptures reveal the man Christ Jesus ~ the person we pattern after.)

Deep in the heart of every person is a quality that needs to be searched out. There is a cost for this search. The quality of your success depends on it. Attention is the price you pay. You need to pay attention ~ longer. Concentrate on His Word and appreciate it. Be inspired. Ask the question ~ what is God trying to do with me? He has an individual plan for you. What you become is predestined by the Word you do. Take a Bible Sabbath of an hour or two and learn more about yourself. God positions Himself in His Word. He is there to greet you.

The value of the man is seen in the quality of the Savior that came to save him. God determined that the value of His creation was worth the price He paid to save him from destruction. God ~ legally ~ became an upright Man and gave His LIFE so He could save sinners on a continual basis. We are still benefiting from this today.

Hebrews 7:24 But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood. 25 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, (Jesus is a traffic cop guiding us to the Truth) seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. 26 For such an high priest became us,

The word ~ became ~ spoken here about Jesus ~ means ~ becoming, seemly, fit, to stand out, to be conspicuous, to be eminent. It means Jesus was the Quality of a High Priest we deserved because of our value

• Overview of adj eminent
• 1. distinguished, eminent, great -- ((used of persons) standing above others in character or attainment or reputation; "our distinguished professor"; "an eminent scholar"; "a great statesman")
• 2. eminent, high -- (standing above others in quality or position; "people in high places"; "the high priest"; "eminent members of the community")
• 3. eminent -- (having achieved eminence; "an eminent physician")
• 4. eminent, lofty, soaring, towering -- (of imposing height; especially standing out above others; "an eminent peak"; "lofty mountains"; "the soaring spires of the cathedral"; "towering iceburgs")

In using this method God identified our status in His creation and dignified us with His honor by calling us His Sons. He ~ Himself ~ came and died for us. God would not die for an animal. He bestowed on us a love in the highest degree. Greater love hath no man than this. The Just died for the unjust. Live in this dignity. That is not pride ~ it is God showing us our true value. The quality of His Love speaks of our eternal value. WHAT will a man give in exchange for his soul? There is not enough.

1 John 3:1 Behold, ~ TAKE A GOOD LOOK ~ what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.

God has bestowed His Honor on us. We are called The Sons of God. That means you my friend. Stand Tall. Go up the Mountain. Set your face toward the city. His City is set on the Hill. God is there to welcome you.
