Why is Jesus referred to as precious in the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus is deemed precious because He is God's chosen Savior who fulfills the redemptive plan.

In 1 Peter 2:6, Jesus is described as a living stone, elect, and precious—a title reflecting His unique relationship with God the Father and His invaluable role in the salvation of His people. For God, Jesus fulfills the mission with perfect obedience and righteousness, making Him indispensable for salvation. For believers, Jesus is precious because He secures their redemption, providing hope and assurance as both Savior and Lord. This description aids believers in recognizing the worth of Christ amidst a world that often disregards Him, prompting a deep-rooted love and reverence for their Redeemer.
