What does the Bible say about the Lord being precious?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible describes the Lord Jesus as precious, emphasizing His unique value and role as the cornerstone of our faith.

In 1 Peter 2:4, the Lord is referred to as 'chosen of God and precious'. This highlights His unique place in the covenant of grace and underscores His unmatched worth. The term 'precious' signifies both honor and the immeasurable price of our salvation, as seen in 1 Peter 1:18-19, where we are told we were redeemed not with perishable things but with the precious blood of Christ. His value is not only in His divine nature but also in His redemptive work, as He fulfilled God's perfect plan and willingly took on the sins of His people.
