Correct Perception
Correct Perception
The accurate perception of where we stand with God depends on realizing
God’s standard of righteousness and that no amount of spiritual, religious or
intellectual insight, no other achievement or accomplishment will impress
God.
His goodness leads us to repentance and it is only by faith, through grace that
we are saved. Even the faith we need is His gift and His salvation is His gift.
Our salvation depends solely on Jesus Christ and His righteousness from
start to finish. He is the author and finisher of our faith. He is the captain of
our salvation. We can only have the proper and correct perception of our
standing with God by realizing that our righteousness is as filthy rags and that
our faith can only be based on Jesus Christ and His righteousness. Failure to
understand or underestimate this vital fact leads to religiosity, self-righteousness
like the Pharisees who tought they were close to God, yet they were the farthest
away from His will.
