How much you pay for something says how important it is to you.
Let's say I had a puppy you wanted to buy. If I said, "it's $10!" and you said, "Nah, I don't want to pay that much!" I would know that puppy wasn't very important to you. If you said, "I will give you nickel for it!" I would really know you didn't care much about it at all, if all it was worth to you was nickel!
But if I said, "It's $100!" and you said, "I'll pay it!" I would know that puppy was important to you.
If I said, "It's $1,000!" And you said, "I will pay it!" I would know that puppy was really worth a lot to you!
But if I said, "It's a BAZILLION DOLLARS!" And you said "I will pay it!" (well, if you HAD a bazillion dollars! Where did you get a bazillion dollars??!!!) I would know that puppy was the most important thing in the world to you!
When Jesus paid the debt you owed, he paid the HIGHEST price there could ever, ever be! WAY more than even a bazillion dollars. He paid with His life.
THAT'S how much you are worth to God!!!
Jesus died for you to save your life!
Because Jesus gave his life for you, all your sin has been rightly washed away. Now God can connect you back to Him!
Jesus gave his life so you can live with him forever!
Jesus bought your "ticket to heaven"!
THAT'S how much God loves you!!!
