It’s easy to know someone and hold their mistakes against them. But what if that’s how God saw us. But he doesn’t.
When we accepted Jesus sacrifice God wiped our slate clean. He doesn’t see our mistakes he sees Jesus and who we can be if we let Jesus live through us. We need to look at people like God does. God can teach us through everything like the story of “The Grinch” Cindy-Lou Who saw potential in the Grinch for good and brought it out. Someone who everyone else had written off, she saw hope for change and growth. That’s how God sees everyone. He sees them as redeemed through Jesus (christians) or as having the potential to be redeemed (pre-christians.)
God doesn’t look at us and say we are beyond hope, so why would we ever do that to someone else. We need to see people the way God does with the potential for a change of heart.
