Notes:

How does God see you? Does he like what he sees when he looks at you or is he always upset and frustrated with you? These are good questions, and understanding the correct answers to these questions is crucial for comprehending both ourselves and also the status of our relationship with God. Knowing God’s real perspective of us in Christ and embracing it as our own self-perception will significantly impact our thoughts, choices, and behaviors. In other words, we often think and behave out of how we perceive ourselves.

In this episode, Ross O’Hair and Tom Price discuss the transformative work of God in our lives through Christ, how God presently views us based on his work in Christ, and how we can begin to see ourselves the way God sees us.

Verses:

John 6:28-29 – “Therefore they said to Him, ‘What shall we do, so that we may work the works of God?’ Jesus answered and said to them, ‘This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He has sent.’”

John 17:3 – “This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.”

2 Corinthians 5:17 – “Therefore if anyone is in Christ, [he is] a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.”

Hebrews 10:14 – “For by one offering He has perfected for all time those who are sanctified.”
