How do we know Christ is precious?

Believers find Christ precious as they understand the depths of His sacrifice and His identity as the Son of God. In 1 Peter 2:7, we are reminded that for those who believe, He is precious because He embodies our hope, redemption, and the fulfillment of God's promises. This preciousness is not derived from earthly standards but from the work He accomplished on the cross, ensuring salvation for sinners. The acknowledgment of Jesus as 'precious' calls believers to recognize His worth and to live in devotion to Him, glorifying Him in every aspect of life.
