I've heard it said a lot that whenever God sees us, He sees only His grace, He sees us through the blood of Jesus, or He only sees what we will become in Him. But, if that were the case, how could He chastise us when we need it?
Is there any biblical support for the concept, and if so, could someone direct me to the verses?
I will try to post what might be of reverence for you. But it does take you to read it all in context and trusting God to reveal the truth to you, that sets you free to be in God and do in God what is right, without stressing over it. That is what trusting God whom we do not see is all about.
First and foremost in and from God through Son we are :
Ephesians 1:7 in whom we have redemption through his blood, the
forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
Colossians 1:14 in whom we have redemption through his blood,
even the
forgiveness of sins:
Colossians 2:13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having
forgiven you all trespasses
1 John 2:12 I write unto you, little children, because your sins are
forgiven you for his name’s sake.
We are reconciled, redeemed, and have redemption through the death, burial and resurrected Christ.
Romans 5:10 For if, when we were enemies, we were
reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being
reconciled, we shall be saved by his life
2 Corinthians 5:18 And all things
are of God, who hath
reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
2 Corinthians 5:20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech
you by us: we pray
you in Christ’s stead, be ye
reconciled to God.
Colossians 1:21 And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in
your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he
reconciled
Galatians 3:13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
1 Peter 1:18 forasmuch as ye know that ye were not
redeemed with corruptible things,
as silver and gold, from your vain conversation
received by tradition from your fathers;
Romans 3:24 being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
1 Corinthians 1:30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
Hebrews 9:12 neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption
for us
Hebrews 9:15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions
that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance
Now if you believe God then you receive God's new life God has for you in the Spirit, which today is the only way God can be served
John 4:23 But the hour cometh,
and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in
spirit and in
truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him
John 4:24 God
is a
Spirit:
and they that worship him must worship
him in
spirit and in
truth.
God does this operation through one's belief in God
[h=3]Colossians 1:9-23[/h]Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)
[SUP]
9 [/SUP]For this cause we also, since the day we heard
it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; [SUP]
10 [/SUP]that ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; [SUP]
11 [/SUP]strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness; [SUP]
12 [/SUP]giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: [SUP]
13 [/SUP]who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated
us into the kingdom of his dear Son: [SUP]
14 [/SUP]in whom we have redemption through his blood,
even the forgiveness of sins: [SUP]
15 [/SUP]who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: [SUP]
16 [/SUP]for by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether
they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: [SUP]
17 [/SUP]and he is before all things, and by him all things consist. [SUP]
18 [/SUP]And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all
things he might have the preeminence. [SUP]
19 [/SUP]For it pleased
the Father that in him should all fulness dwell; [SUP]
20 [/SUP]and, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him,
I say, whether
they be things in earth, or things in heaven.
[SUP]
21 [/SUP]And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in
your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled [SUP]
22[/SUP]
in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight: [SUP]
23 [/SUP]
if ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;
