HHow Does God See YOU?
Titus 3: 3-7
3 At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and
enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy,
being hated and hating one another. 4 But when the kindness and love of God our
Savior appeared, 5 he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done,
but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and
renewal by the Holy Spirit, 6 whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus
Christ our Savior, 7 so that, having been justified by his grace,we might
become heirs having the hope of eternal life.
Hebrews 9:22
22 Indeed, under the law almost everything is purified with
blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins.
Had a great thought this morning that I thought I'd
share. What do you think God sees when
He looks at people? Does He see deeds,
or maybe thoughts? What about maybe our
past, present, or future?
I'm here to tell you that when God looks at people, He only
sees 1 of 2 things....sin or Blood! Look
at Titus first...Paul is explaining about a saved persons past, before they
were washed by the Blood of Jesus..." At one time" (past sins)
..."we Lived" (past sinful life) You see Paul is telling them , about
their lives before they were saved.
Hence the past tense verbage.
Now to my favorite verse...Hebrews 9:22. It is obvious here what is being stated...Had
there not been a sacrifice and shedding of Jesus' blood, then we would still be
in the sinful life that is mentioned in Titus.
Stay with me here, I'm fixing to tie it all together...
So, God sees 1 or 2 things when He looks at us...If we are
lost (unsaved) he only sees sin...period...that's all He can see...But if we
are saved by the blood of Jesus, then He only sees Jesus' blood. How awesome is that?! No matter our past, no matter our old ways or
thoughts...God looks at us with the love of a Father, because Jesus' blood allowed
us to be forgiven. Basically He only
sees His Son in us!
OK....so I ask you today....what Does God see when He looks
at YOU? If He sees the blood of Jesus,
then fight the good fight...go tell others about your salvation
experience...!!! If he doesn't see Jesus
in you and you feel like you are being convicted then just ask Jesus to be your
new Lord, above work, family,ect...
Yield your life to Him, the way He yielded His life for You...Ask God to
forgive you and ask Him for wisdom on how to move forward as a christian. Now go tell somebody about Jesus!
