In God's eyes, worth is not determined by human achievement, but by His love and redemption. As Jesus teaches in Matthew, those who are considered worthy are those who have been invited and have accepted the gift of salvation. The apostle Paul's experience, as described in Galatians, demonstrates that our worth is rooted in Christ's sacrifice and love for us. According to Ephesians and Philippians, living a life worthy of this calling involves walking in humility, gratitude, and purity of heart, with minds focused on what is true and noble. This perspective frees us to trust in God's providence, as seen in Matthew.
