Your World View

Meditations on

Staying In the Grace for Today

Your World View

So we have stopped evaluating others from a human point of view. At one time we thought of Christ merely from a human point of view. How differently we know him now!

2 Corinthians 5:16 

From verse 16, to the end of chapter 5, is a very concise summary of the Good News, the Gospel, of Christ. After learning to see things from God’s point of view, God’s world view, we realize we who belong to Christ are a new creation. This new life in Christ is a gift from God, and with our new life in Christ we are given a mission from God. We are ambassadors for Christ; telling others that Christ, who was without sin, sacrificed his life for them so that they too could be made right with God and thus become a new creation in Christ.

I find these six verses very helpful in my desire to remain in God’s grace for today, and every day. Taken together the six verses provide the context for verse 16, which for me is a foundation stone for staying in God’s grace for today: stop evaluating others from my human point of view. That’s it. My world view is firmly established when I adopt God’s world view and stop evaluating others from my human point of view. My desire is to see others from God’s point of view. God sees all people, all people everywhere, as a person for whom Christ died and rose again!

Can life be this simple? Yes, because this is how God sees our world. As I sit before these verses, I am very much aware of how diametrically opposed is God’s world view from the human point of view in our world today. What are we going to do?

My Takeaway: The Wednesday evening Bible study I attend is spending a year on the Book of Isaiah. Last week we looked at Isaiah 6:8, “Then I heard the Lord asking, “Whom should I send as a messenger to this people? Who will go for us?” I said, “Here I am. Send me.”

In 2 Corinthians 5:20, the Apostle Paul commissioned me as an ambassador for Christ. The only question is whether I, like Isaiah, will respond, “Here I am, Send me.”

(Selah is a word that appears in the Book of Psalms that I often use as the Complimentary Closing in my correspondence. Its meaning, as I use the word, is to pause and think about these things.)
