God’s View Of Humanity

The carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God. Romans 8:7.

Humans view life from a personal point of time and space, but God views us from His heavenly throne in the light of eternity. We see ourselves as self-sufficient, self-important, and self-sustaining; God sees us as dependent, self-centered, and self-deceived. Our worldly wisdom has made us calloused and hard. Our natural wisdom, as the Scriptures teach, comes not from God but is earthly, sensual, and devilish (James 3:15). There is the person you think you are. There is the person others think you are. And there is the person God knows you are and what you can become through Christ. All truth is from God, and He wants us to believe His truth, which points us to the cross. It is there that we find forgiveness of the sins of “self,” and we also find the solution to dilemmas and problems. It is impossible for the “natural man” (the one who does not know Jesus Christ as personal Savior) to understand how God, in His grace and mercy, can forgive sinners and transform lives. It is also impossible for the natural man to comprehend how these changed lives can affect society. Those with their worldly wisdom do not understand the workings of God. But you can know the Lord Jesus today if you will receive Him by faith.
