Through His Eyes

Don't become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You'll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you.Rom.12:2 (MSG) Then you can see things through His eyes.

Who is God to you?

Americans' Image of God

31% believe in an "Authoritarian God" who is angry at humanity's sins and engaged in every creature's life and world affairs.

23% believe in a "Benevolent God" who is forgiving and accepting of anyone who repents.

16% believe in a "Critical God" who has his judgmental eye on the world, but he's not going to intervene, either to punish or comfort.

24% believe in a "Distant God" who is more of a cosmic force that launched the world, then left it spinning on its own.

We know what real love is because Jesus gave up his life for us. So we also ought to give up our lives for our brothers and sisters. 1 John 3:16
