$1–10 million. That’s the AI-generated answer to the question, “What is a life worth?” Economists and government agencies call it the Value of a Statistical Life—a figure used for policy and planning. However, when I think about the people I love, assigning a dollar amount to their lives feels absurd. I could never afford to pay for them, nor would I ever accept money in their place. So what is our true worth? In his first recorded letter to a scattered and persecuted church, Peter offers a different measure of value. Our worth is not found in economic estimates, but in the way we reflect the glory of God to one another. It is seen in how we bear witness—across generations—to God’s mighty hand and to his promise to make all things new.
