Do you ever stop and ask yourself; how does God see me? Well, the Bible is very clear on this question. Sin in our lives caused us to die spiritually and separated us from God. He saw us as sinners. As sinners our lives come under the evil and destructive plans of satan, such as sickness, poverty and disease. Christ redeemed us or paid that awful price for our sins by His sacrifice on a cross winning God’s forgiveness for us all (Col 1:14). If we repent of sin and ask God’s forgiveness, believe in Jesus and make Him Lord of our lives (Rom 10:9) we are born again spiritually (John 3:3-7; Eph 2:1). We become new creations (2 Cor 5:17) and our fellowship with God is restored. We become His children (1 John 3:1), Christians. We are justified (Rom 4:25) or made just as if we had never sinned, sanctified, set apart for God and made holy in God’s eyes (1 Cor 6:11). In addition, God sees us Christians as righteous, having right standing with Him (2 Cor 5:21). Jesus calls us His friends (John 15:15) and His workmanship (Eph 2:10). The Greek word translated “workmanship” has the sense of a poem, a work of art, a new creation produced by our creator, God. Finally, the apostle Peter refers to God’s people as “a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people” (1 Peter 2:9a; NKJV). This is who we are as Christians, this is how God sees us and don’t allow anyone to tell you any differently!
