Why is Jesus Christ called precious in the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus Christ is called precious because He is the divine Savior whose redemptive work is of utmost value to believers.

In 1 Peter 2:6-7, it states that Christ is 'elect and precious' to those who believe. He embodies the profound love and sacrifice of God toward humanity, coming into the world to save sinners. His preciousness is found in His roles as prophet, priest, and king, fulfilling God's plan for redemption. The believer recognizes Christ's worthiness, not only for who He is—God incarnate—but also for what He accomplished through His life, death, and resurrection. The value of Christ as the cornerstone of faith is foundational for the entire Christian experience, making Him irreplaceably precious in the heart of every believer.
