How do we know that our souls have value in God's eyes?

Answered in 1 source

Our souls are of great value, as evidenced by Christ's sacrificial death for our redemption (Mark 8:36).

The immense value of our souls is highlighted in Mark 8:36, where Jesus asks, 'What shall it profit a man if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul?' This rhetorical question stresses the incomparable worth of the soul. The fact that the entire Godhead engaged in the creation and redemption of our souls, with Christ sacrificing His life, underscores their preciousness. Robert Hawker eloquently summarizes this, stating that the salvation of a soul cost the blood of the Son of God. Thus, the value ascribed to our souls is not based on external achievements or possessions but rather on the unconditional love and sacrifice of Christ for our redemption.
