UNTO YOU THEREFORE WHICH BELIEVE HE IS PRECIOUS

UNTO YOU THEREFORE WHICH BELIEVE HE IS PRECIOUS. 

Ephesians 2:4-10 

But God, Who Is Rich In Mercy, For His Great Love Wherewith He Loved Us, Even When We Were Dead In Sins, Hath Quickened Us Together With Christ, (BY GRACE YE ARE SAVED;) And Hath Raised Us Up Together, And Made Us Sit Together In Heavenly Places In Christ Jesus: That In The Ages To Come He Might Shew The Exceeding Riches Of His Grace In His Kindness Toward Us Through Christ Jesus. For By Grace Are Ye Saved Through Faith; And That Not Of Yourselves: It Is The Gift Of God: Not Of Works, Lest Any Man Should Boast. FOR WE ARE HIS WORKMANSHIP, CREATED IN CHRIST JESUS UNTO GOOD WORKS, WHICH GOD HATH BEFORE ORDAINED THAT WE SHOULD WALK IN THEM.

1 Peter 2:1-12 

Wherefore Laying Aside All Malice, And All Guile, And Hypocrisies, And Envies, And All Evil Speakings, As Newborn Babes, Desire The Sincere Milk Of The Word, That Ye May Grow Thereby: If So Be Ye Have Tasted That The Lord Is Gracious. To Whom Coming, As Unto A Living Stone, Disallowed Indeed Of Men, But Chosen Of God, And Precious, YE ALSO, AS LIVELY STONES, ARE BUILT UP A SPIRITUAL HOUSE, AN HOLY PRIESTHOOD, TO OFFER UP SPIRITUAL SACRIFICES, ACCEPTABLE TO GOD BY JESUS CHRIST. Wherefore Also It Is Contained In The Scripture, Behold, I Lay In Sion A Chief Corner Stone, Elect, Precious: And He That Believeth On Him Shall Not Be Confounded. UNTO YOU THEREFORE WHICH BELIEVE HE IS PRECIOUS: But Unto Them Which Be Disobedient, The Stone Which The Builders Disallowed, The Same Is Made The Head Of The Corner, And A Stone Of Stumbling, And A Rock Of Offence, Even To Them Which Stumble At The Word, Being Disobedient: Whereunto Also They Were Appointed. But Ye Are A Chosen Generation, A Royal Priesthood, An Holy Nation, A Peculiar People; That Ye Should Shew Forth The Praises Of Him Who Hath Called You Out Of Darkness Into His Marvellous Light: Which In Time Past Were Not A People, But Are Now The People Of God: Which Had Not Obtained Mercy, But Now Have Obtained Mercy. Dearly Beloved, I Beseech You As Strangers And Pilgrims, Abstain From Fleshly Lusts, Which War Against The Soul; Having Your Conversation Honest Among The Gentiles: That, Whereas They Speak Against You As Evildoers, They May By Your Good Works, Which They Shall Behold, Glorify God In The Day Of Visitation.

Is Jesus Christ Precious to you? Is Precious how you describe your Lord?
