Where God Looks

 

What a powerful statement God makes in this scripture. 

In a world where people are judged on their outward appearance - race, gender, clothes, beauty, etc. - God measures people not by how much money they have, how physically strong they are, or how attractive they might be. 

He cares way more about character and what's on the inside than we do as humans. 

If only we were a little more like God and less like ourselves. 

Have a blessed day fam!

God bless,

J.W.

Free Gift (Part II): Heart of the Matter

“But the LORD said to Samuel, ‘Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the LORD sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the LORD looks on the heart.’” ~ 1 Samuel 16:7

The other day, my mom asked me a question.

If a saved person commits suicide, is that person still saved?

We can give all types of reasons why that person may not be saved, but in the end, none of it matters.

All that matters is what’s in his or her heart.

According to the Bible, if that person believed in his or her heart and confessed with his or her mouth that Jesus is Lord, that person is saved.

We may try to impose other criteria for his salvation, but none of it counts.

For we are not his judge.

And we did not die to save his sins.

God bless,
J.W.
