The Worth of God
I have not known the true value of God . I have misrepresented the true value of God.
The value you place on God is related to the truth contained within the mind. It is my belief that people with untrue thought have a view of God that is not accurate lowering his perceived value.
IF not knowing the true value of God leads to a problem, the solution to the problem could be knowing the true value of God.
The intrinsic value and worth of God is also known as the glory of God.

Not knowing the true value of God is not because of God.

He wants you to have a true valuation of His worth.

Exodus 15:11 Who among the gods is like you, Lord? Who is like you— majestic in holiness, awesome in glory, working wonders?
You represent the true value and worth of God when You place a higher value on God than all You are to the same extent God places a higher value on you than all He IS.
You represent the true value and worth of God when You give all you are to God to the same extent He gives all He Is to You
There exists nothing within time or outside of time that has a higher value than the worth of God.

The value you place on Someone is reflected in what you are willing to loose because of the value you place on Someone. If you have a true valuation of God, nothing in your life will compare in importance to the value you place on Him.

There were others who were tortured, refusing to be released so that they might gain an even better resurrection. 36 Some faced jeers and flogging, and even chains and imprisonment. 37 They were put to death by stoning; they were sawed in two; they were killed by the sword.
