利未记是说还特许愿的估价
但是，我们看还特许愿的价值，起码比赎生命的价值多六倍，因为最少的限度是三舍客勒；（利二七6；）更多就有百倍的不同了，因为有的要出五十舍客勒。（利二七3。）为甚么有这样的不同呢？这是因为出埃及记是讲救恩，利未记是讲奉献。
因我们肯奉献的缘故，神看我们值得多少
在这里，奉献的意思，不是说我愿奉献多少，乃是说，因我们肯奉献的缘故，神看我们值得多少。从救恩看来，神看我们都值半舍客勒，也没有谁比谁值得更多，贫富老幼都是一样的价值。自己的天然方面是完全被神摆在一边；因为使我们得救的，乃是神的儿子。谁也不能在神的儿子身上加上甚么，谁也不能从祂身上减少一点而能得救的。按着恩典而说，世人在神面前，是一样的有罪；他们得救的代价，多少也是一样。神因着基督，看我们在祂面前的价值，都是一样的。神宝贵我们，神以为我们是有价值的。但是，因为这价值是在祂儿子里面，所以我们在祂面前因着救恩所得的价值都是一样的。
一个是他属灵的用处，一个是他诚心的奉献
但是，这个并不会禁止神看有的信徒比别的信徒是更有价值的。虽然他们是一样的得救，一样的作神的儿女；但是，有的人因为他属灵的用处是比别人更多，并且他的奉献也是比别人更完全，就叫神看他是比别人更有价值的。在这里要注意两件事：一个就是他属灵的用处，一个就是他诚心的奉献。神惟独因我们的属灵用处，再加上诚心的奉献，而看我们是有价值的。徒有属灵的用处而不奉献，就在神的面前，除了因基督而有的价值以外，并没有别的价值了。如果肯奉献，并且是诚心的奉献，在神看，就是一月到五岁，也有所值的。最可怕的，就是信徒在神面前，一分钱也不值，赎生命的价钱，半舍客勒彀了，保险他是得救的了。但是，论奉献，就是你只一月，你若奉献给神，你还有你的价值。

The Valuation of the Repayment of Vows in Leviticus (1) – Lev. 27:3
However, we see that the value of repaying a vow is at least six times greater than the value of redeeming life, due to the minimum limit being three shekels of silver (Lev. 27:6). In case there are more, the difference will be a hundred times, because some require fifty shekels of silver (Lev. 27:3.) Why is there such a difference? This is because Exodus is regarding salvation and Leviticus is regarding consecration.
Because of Our Willingness to Offer, God Considers Our Valuation
The meaning of consecration does not mean how much we are willing to offer, instead, God considers the valuation based on our willingness to offer. From the perspective of salvation, God sees that we are all worth half a shekel, and no one is worth more than anyone else regardless of being rich or poor, old or young. All have the same valuation before God. The natural aspect of ourselves is completely set aside by God; for it is the Son of God who saves us. No one can add anything to the Son of God, and no one can take anything away from him to be saved. According to grace, the world is equally sinful before God, and the price of their salvation is also the same. Because of Christ, God regards us as having the same valuation before him. God treasures us and considers us valuable. However, this valuation is in his Son, we all have the same valuation before him through salvation.
One Is Spiritual Usefulness, the Other Is Sincere Consecration
However, this does not prevent God from considering some believers to be more valuable than others. Although they are all saved and are children of God in the same way, due to their spiritual usefulness more than others and their consecration more fully, God considers them to be more valuable. There are two matters that should be noted here: one is spiritual usefulness, and the other is sincere consecration. God only considers the valuation based on our spiritual usefulness and sincere consecration. Having only spiritual usefulness without consecration has no other value before God except the value of having Christ. If you are willing to consecrate and sincerely consecrate yourself, even if you are aged from a month old to five years old in the eyes of God, it would be valuable. The most terrifying thing is that a believer is not worth a penny before God. The price of redeeming life costs only half a shekel, which is an assurance that he will be saved. However, when it comes to consecration, even if you are aged a month old, you still have your valuation.
