Why is Christ considered precious to believers?

Answered in 3 sources

Christ is precious to believers because He is the Savior who fulfills all their spiritual needs and fulfills God's redemptive plan.

In 1 Peter 2:6-7, Jesus is described as the 'precious cornerstone' of faith. To believers, Christ is precious not only in His identity as God incarnate but also in His redemptive work. He is the prophet who reveals God’s truths, the priest who makes atonement for sin, and the king who reigns with absolute authority. His sacrificial death was not a mere martyrdom but the divinely appointed means for our salvation, making His blood precious (1 Peter 1:18-19). Believers recognize their great need for a perfect Savior, acknowledging that they were lost and helpless without Him. Thus, His person and work are invaluable to them.
