Romans 5:8-10
But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through him! For if, while we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life!
LOVE SEES MEN THROUGH THE EYES OF FAITH – LOVE SEES WHAT WE WILL BECOME, NOT WHAT WE CURRENTLY ARE.
We have been seeing men through sense dominated eyes. Now we must see them as the Father sees them. Love sees men through the eyes of faith. That’s God’s love. When we were dead in our sins and far removed from him, God saw us through the eyes of faith that we will believe in the sacrifice of himself through his son Jesus Christ. He believed that we will want Eternal life and came to die for it. He overlooked all our flaws and failings and saw us perfected in the sacrifice of his son. Wow.
We must close our natural sense-ruled eyes and see men as the Father sees them (through Faith). He sees the poor made rich, the naked clothed, the wicked being so kind. When you see like this, there is no way you will not love people. You will love them in their flaws and inadequacies. But as long as we see them through sense-governed eyes we cannot love them like Jesus does.
Hallelujah!
GRACEFUL MORNING
