The Bible Although there is a higher and more spiritual meaning to this scripture in principle, it states the value of a good reputation. How so? At the time of someone’s birth, they have no record of life experiences attached to their name. As a person creates a history of honesty and doing good, the value of their name increases. I’m going to explain this wisdom further with a story from my Grandfather.
