Evaluating yourself through the eyes of Jesus! 

The first step in walking with Jesus is the ability to see yourself through the eyes of Jesus. All human beings have been “sold under” sin due to the disobedience of Adam and Eve.

We all have a corrupted inner nature stemming from our natural life at birth. This life wants to satisfy self and defy God.

There is dark valley in your personality and spirit which is below human consciousness. Some of this darkness comes from genetic dispositions from your ancestry.

This hidden part of your personality is where you can get in trouble and find yourself in bondage to Satan.

In contrast, Jesus has no ego and is without sin. No one can match up to the standards of God. And, He is omniscient and sees every detail of your past and future.

The epiphany is seeing yourself compared to Jesus. The contrast causes a sickening feeling like Isaiah experienced. He said “Woe to me! I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips”.

It takes a very humble and contrite heart to see that all righteousness comes from God.

Jesus is not looking for perfection but he wants you to recognize who you are and how you can be transformed into His character.

The righteousness of God cannot be obtained through human effort, doing works or keeping laws. It comes by your faith and obedience to the voice of God. Nothing else works.

The Holy Spirit lives in all believers. He is the life of Christ. He wants you to walk in the light and avoid darkness. He convicts of sin and teaches the values of Jesus. 

The Christ follower must invite the Holy Spirit to have authority over his life. This action will allow you to walk in oneness with Jesus and be filled with His thoughts in all the moments of life. 

Embrace Jesus and abandon yourself completely to Him. Ask Jesus to cover you with His blood. Seek repentance and be open to the correction of God.

Remember, what may seem right can lead you into misery and destruction!
