Agreed, but by His standards none of us are worth more than the dirt He made us from, and to which we will all-too-soon return.
Recognizing that, He gave us Word for protection and how much or how sincerely Forrest ever accepted His Word, we don't know.
But I do recommend to you Forrest's own words from July 1875,
God made us in HIS imagine Joe. What HE did, alone among all HIS other creations is give us free will. When we take that will back from HIM, that’s when the trouble starts. Me? I try as much as possible to walk humbly and live usefully under HIS grace. Humility is knowing one is not God.
