Blinded to the ways of Jesus!

“There is a way that seems right but in the end it leads to death.
Proverbs 14:12

We get set in our ways and end up doing things that lead to destruction. This admonition applies to every living being whether a believer or not.

This happens because we assume what is good based on religious teaching or the practices of the world.

Many have a genetic disposition from your family ancestry and are unwilling to face correction.

How can we see ourselves through the eyes of Jesus?

You have to be open to change, not live in denial, or impose your self conceived beliefs on life.

God knows you better than you know yourself and wants the very best for you. Be open to the conviction of the Holy Spirit and let Him set the standards for your actions.

If a believer attempts to impose his own concept of the values of God, he will fall on His face. God judges right from wrong without moral scrutiny or whether you keep laws or do works. Jesus looks at your heart, your obedience to Him and your seriousness about seeking His will. This is most important to Jesus. He knows you are going to sin. It is inevitable in your nature.

You can never be right with God. There is no one acceptable in His sight. You must be covered by the blood of Jesus and seeking the Holy Spirit to convict you of evil and guide you into the light.

The moment you think you are pleasing God you are probably on the brink of disaster.

Pray to Jesus, read the Bible, and listen for the voice of God. This will keep you on track with Jesus. You will be far from perfect but acceptable in the eyes of God.
