Dear Christians, nosotros accept a terrible habit of creating catchy statements that aren't scriptural.
For example: When God looks at me, He exclusively sees Jesus. He doesn't run across a unmarried sin.
This arguing is truthful inwards the legal feel only. When nosotros piece of employment into eternity, God volition run across Christ's righteousness roofing us (1 John 3:2: Romans 8:1).
But this "legal position" doesn't shroud our sins from God. He ever has been together with ever volition last omniscient (Scriptures).
He sees our sins together with expects us to vigorously repent together with reform because it volition convey us wholeness, peace, together with joy (Philippians 3:12-13; Romans 8; 12:1-2).
The Bible was given to teach, rebuke, together with right the sins that God sees inwards us (2 Timothy 3:16-17).
Jesus says, "Those whom I honey I rebuke together with discipline. So last earnest together with repent" (Revelation 3:19).
So if you're intent on using this catchy phrase, at to the lowest degree say it this way: "When God looks at me for legal purposes, He sees Jesus, non my sins. But hither together with directly He sees my sins together with helps me overcome them."
