"WHAT DOES GOD THINK OF ME?"                      
                                                   TITUS 3:1-8 

INTRODUCTION:

           LET ME ASK YOU A QUESTION: "DO YOU EVER WONDER WHAT PEOPLE THINK ABOUT YOU?"     "DO YOU EVEN CARE?"     TO SOME EXTENT, MOST OF US DO CARE WHAT OTHERS THINK OF US.

           NOW, LET ME ASK YOU ANOTHER QUESTION: "HAS ANYONE EVER TOLD  YOU WHAT THEY THINK ABOUT YOU?"     "WHEN THEY DO, YOU ARE OFTEN SORRY THEY DID."

           THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES, WHEN A PERSON TOLD ME JUST WHAT THEY THOUGHT OF ME, AND I WAS GLAD THEY DID SO.

           THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER TIMES WHEN FOLKS HAVE SHARED THEIR THOUGHTS ABOUT ME AND I WAS NOT PLEASED AT ALL.

           THAT IS ONE REASON I DO NOT ASK PEOPLE WHAT THEY THINK OF ME.     I AM AFRAID THEY WILL TELL ME!

           I WANT TO LOOK AT THIS MATTER FROM A SPIRITUAL PERSPECTIVE.

           IF YOU WERE TO ASK SATAN WHAT HE THINKS ABOUT YOU, HE WOULD PROBABLY SAY, "YOU ARE A FAILURE."

            IF YOU ASKED SOCIETY WHAT THEY THINK OF YOU, THEY MIGHT SAY, "YOU ARE A FOOL."

           IF YOU ASKED SELF, THAT IS, YOU OWN HEART, SELF MIGHT SAY, "YOU ARE A FAKE."

          "HAVE YOU EVER HEARD THESE THINGS?"     MANY HAVE AND ON A DAILY BASIS.

           BUT, DOES IT REALLY MATTER WHAT SATAN, SOCIETY, AND SELF THINK ABOUT YOU AND ME?

           NO! NOT ALL!     ALL THAT REALLY MATTERS, IN THE END, IS WHAT GOD THINKS ABOUT US.

           "HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED JUST WHAT GOD THINKS ABOUT YOU?"

           "IS IT POSSIBLE TO KNOW WHAT GOD THINKS ABOUT US?"

           "DO WE REALLY WANT TO KNOW WHAT HE THINKS ABOUT US?"

           "WELL, THIS PASSAGE CLEARLY REVEALS EXACTLY WHAT GOD THINKS ABOUT US THAT ARE BORN-AGAIN BELIEVERS.

          IN CHAPTER TWO, PAUL WROTE ABOUT HOW BELIEVERS SHOULD BEHAVE IN THE CHURCH.     IN CHAPTER THREE, PAUL TALKS ABOUT HOW BELIEVERS SHOULD BEHAVE IN SOCIETY.     PAUL CALLS ON TITUS TO "PUT THEM IN MIND" ABOUT CERTAIN THINGS.

          PAUL WANTS THE SAINTS TO REMEMBER WHO THEY ARE IN JESUS CHRIST;     WHAT THEY HAVE IN JESUS;     WHAT GOD HAS DONE IN THEM THROUGH JESUS;     AND WHAT GOD EXPECTS OF THEM AS BELIEVERS IN JESUS.

          IN THESE VERSES, PAUL ANSWERS THE QUESTION I POSED A FEW MOMENTS AGO: "WHAT DOES GOD THINK OF ME?"     IN THIS PASSAGE DESIGNED FOR INSTRUCTION, WE CAN FIND A WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT.

           SOME OF YOU MAY BE DISCOURAGED AS YOU WONDER HOW GOD SEES YOU.     WELL, IF YOU ARE SAVED, YOU ARE ABOUT TO FIND OUT.     IF YOU ARE NOT SAVED, THEN YOU ARE GOING TO LEARN HOW GOD WOULD SEE YOU IF YOU CAME TO JESUS FOR SALVATION.

           LET'S LOOK INTO THESE VERSES TOGETHER AS WE ADDRESS THE QUESTION: "WHAT DOES GOD THINK OF ME?"

          1. GOD THINKS YOU ARE PRECIOUS; VERSES 3-6

          SATAN SAYS, "GOD DOESN'T CARE ABOUT YOU AT ALL."     GOD SAYS SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.     THESE VERSES TEACH US THAT GOD LOVES US MORE THAN WE CAN POSSIBLY UNDERSTAND.

          A. THE EXTENT OF HIS LOVE 

          VERSE 3 PAINTS A VIVID PICTURE OF WHAT THE BELIEVER WAS BEFORE HE OR SHE MET JESUS CHRIST.

          FOOLISH - IGNORANT OF EVERYTHING TO DO WITH GOD.

          DISOBEDIENT - REBELLIOUS TOWARD ANY AUTHORITY INSTITUTED BY GOD.

          SERVING DIVERS LUST AND PLEASURES - A SLAVE TO OUR FLESHLY APPETITES AND PASSIONS.

          LIVING IN MALICE - GIVEN OVER TO A LIFESTYLE OF EVIL.

          ENVY - NEVER SATISFIED WITH WHAT WE HAVE, BUT ALWAYS GRASPING FOR MORE.

          HATEFUL - THIS IS THE NATURAL FRUIT OF ALL THE ABOVE.     THIS KIND OF LIFE MAKES US MEAN-SPIRITED AND HARD TO GET ALONG WITH.

          HATING ONE ANOTHER - WALKING WITHOUT LOVE FOR OUR FELLOW MAN.

          THAT IS WHAT WE WERE, AND WHAT SOME STILL ARE.     IT IS A TERRIBLE CONDITION TO BE IN, YET THAT IS WHAT THE BIBLE (KJV) SAYS TIME AND TIME AGAIN:

 EPHESIANS 2:1-3, (1) "AND YOU HATH HE QUICKENED, WHO WERE DEAD IN TRESPASSES AND SINS;"

 (2) "WHEREIN IN TIME PAST YE WALKED ACCORDING TO THE COURSE OF THIS WORLD, ACCORDING TO THE PRINCE OF THE POWER OF THE AIR, THE SPIRIT THAT NOW WORKETH IN THE CHILDREN OF DISOBEDIENCE:"

 (3) "AMONG WHOM ALSO WE ALL HAD OUR CONVERSATION IN TIMES PAST IN THE LUST OF OUR FLESH, FULFILLING THE DESIRES OF THE FLESH AND OF THE MIND; AND WERE BY NATURE THE CHILDREN OF WRATH, EVEN AS OTHERS."

          SCRIPTURE PAINTS MAN AS HE REALLY IS WITHOUT CHRIST.     LOST MEN ARE SPIRITUALLY DEAD, NOT MERELY WEAKENED, INCAPACITATED, DISABLED, OR SICK.

          SIN LEADS TO GUILT, AND MAN'S NEED FOR FORGIVENESS; THEY LEAD TO DEATH, AND HELL AND SIN LEADS MAN'S NEED OF NEW LIFE.

          EVEN IN THAT CONDITION, GOD STILL LOVED US, JEREMIAH 31:3.     HE COULD HAVE WRITTEN US OFF AND JUST ALLOWED US TO GO TO HELL, BUT HE LOVED US AND DID SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

          THIS TRUTH IS DENIED IN THESE DAYS.     MEN SPEAK OF "THE BETTER SELF" AND "A NEW START".     BUT, MAN NEEDS A NEW HEART, NOT JUST A NEW START; A NEW LIFE, NOT JUST TURNING OVER A NEW LEAF; A NEW LIFE, A RESURRECTION, NOT JUST REFORMATION.
 

          B. THE EVIDENCE OF HIS LOVE

VERSE 4, 6b; THESE VERSES SAYS "AFTER THAT".     IN OTHER WORDS, "IN SPITE OF WHAT WE WERE AND ARE, GOD CHOSE TO DISPLAY HIS LOVE FOR US."     HOW DID HE DO THAT?"

          THE ANSWER IS IN VERSE 6.    IT SAYS "THROUGH JESUS CHRIST".     GOD GAVE

EVIDENCE OF HIS LOVE FOR FALLEN MAN BY SENDING HIS SON INTO THE WORLD TO DIE FOR OUR SINS, JOHN 3:16 AND ROMANS 5:6-8, ALSO 1st JOHN 4:9-10.

          IF YOU NEED EVIDENCE THAT YOU ARE PRECIOUS TO THE LORD, THEN LOOK NO FARTHER THAN CALVARY.     YOU DON'T NEED A FEELING, JUST LOOK TO THE CROSS.

          LOOK AWAY TO JESUS AS HE DIES ON THE CROSS FOR YOUR SINS, 1st CORINTHIANS 5:21, AND KNOW THAT YOU ARE SPECIAL TO THE LORD.

           HE LOVED YOU AND THAT IS THE REASON FOR THE AWFUL DEATH OF JESUS CHRIST.     THE CROSS SAYS, "I LOVE YOU".     "YOU ARE SPECIAL TO ME."

          C. THE ENERGY OF HIS LOVE

         " WHAT DID THIS WONDERFUL LOVE OF GOD DO FOR US?"     PART OF THE ANSWER IS FOUND IN THE WORD "BUT" IN VERSE 4.

          GOD KNEW WHAT WE WERE.     HE SAW US WITH ALL OUR SINS AND OUR BAGGAGE, YET HE STILL CHOSE "BUT" INTO OUR LIVES AND SAVE US BY HIS GRACE.

          NOTE THE "BUT" IN EPHESIANS 2:4 AND THE "BUT" IN LUKE 15:22, THE PRODIGAL DESERVED JUDGMENT, "BUT" RECEIVED MERCY.

 LOOK AT ALL HIS LOVE AND GRACE DID FOR US IN VERSE 5:

          HE EXTENDED HIS GRACE AND MERCY TO US WHEN WE DESERVED NOTHING BUT HELL.

          HE SAVED US FROM THE PENALTY OF OUR SINS (SAVED).

          HE CLEANSED US FROM THE DEFILEMENTS OF OUR SINS (WASHING).

          HE MADE A NEW CREATURE OUT OF US (REGENERATION).

          HE PLACED HIS SPIRIT WITHIN US TO LEAD US DEEPER IN HIM DAY BY DAY  (RENEWING).

         GOD DID ALL OF THIS WITH NO HELP FROM US.

          OUR WORKS, OUR RELIGION, OUR EFFORTS, CANNOT SAVE US.     THEY ONLY COMPOUND THE PROBLEM.

          GOD'S LOVE FOR US WAS NOT THE LOVE OF A SECRET ADMIRER.     NO!     HE LOVED US SO MUCH THAT HE WENT TO WORK TO SEE US SAVED.

          SATAN WILL TELL YOU THAT GOD DOESN'T LOVE YOU AT ALL, BUT THE EVIDENCE SAYS SOMETHING QUIET DIFFERENT.     THE EVIDENCE SAYS THAT YOU ARE PRECIOUS IN HIS EYES.

          GOD SEES US EXACTLY AS WE REALLY ARE, BUT HE LOVES US ANYWAY.

          2.  GOD THINKS YOU ARE PERFECT; VERSE 7A

          AGAIN, THE ENEMIES OF THE BELIEVER, SATAN AND THE FLESH WILL TELL YOU THAT YOU ARE DIRTY, WICKED, AND THAT YOU HAVE NO HOPE AT ALL.

         FOLKS, THE DEVIL IS A LIAR, JOHN 8:44; AND YOU CAN'T BELIEVE A WORD YOUR OWN HEART TELLS YOU, JEREMIAH 17:9.  

         VERSE 7 TELLS YOU WHAT GOD THINKS ABOUT YOUR STANDING.     HE SAYS THAT HE HAS "JUSTIFIED" YOU BY HIS GRACE. 

          A.  A DEFINITION

          WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE "JUSTIFIED"?     JUSTIFIED COMES FROM A WORD THAT MEANS, "TO RENDER RIGHTEOUS OR SUCH AS HE OUGHT TO BE".

          IT IS A WORD THAT SPEAKS OF GOD DECLARING THE SAVED PERSON TO BE IN A PERFECT AND RIGHT STANDING BEFORE GOD.     THAT IS SAYING A LOT.

          B.  A DESCRIPTION

          BEING JUSTIFIED IS FAR DIFFERENT FROM BEING FORGIVEN.     SOME PEOPLE THINK THAT JUSTIFICATION IS JUST THE FORGIVENESS OF OUR SINS.     JUSTIFICATION IS FAR MORE POWERFUL THAN THAT.

          WHEN THERE IS FORGIVENESS THERE IS ALSO THE REMEMBRANCE OF THE WRONG COMMITTED.

          A MAN MIGHT BE CONVICTED OF MURDER AND BE FORGIVEN BY THE VICTIM'S FAMILY; BUT EVERYONE STILL KNOWS WHAT THAT MURDERER DID.

          ON THE OTHER HAND, A PERSON WHO HAD BEEN JUSTIFIED HAS BEEN TOTALLY ACQUITTED AND EXONERATED OF ALL CHARGES.     THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO RECORD OF ANY WRONGDOING.

           WHEN WE ARE JUSTIFIED BY GOD, ALL RECORD OF OUR SIN IS FOREVER BANISHED FROM THE MEMORY OF THE LORD.     IT IS AS IF WE HAD NEVER OR WILL NEVER SIN.

          THE BOTTOM LINE IS THIS: THE LAW HAS NO CLAIM AGAINST A JUSTIFIED PERSON.     THE LAW OF GOD IS SATISFIED, THERE IS NO CASE AGAINST THE REDEEMED ONES.     THERE ARE NO CHARGES AGAINST THE CHILD OF GOD.

          C.  A DEFENSE

          SOME MIGHT HEAR OR READ THIS AND SAY, "WELL, THAT IS AN EXCUSE TO SIN.  IF THE LORD DOESN'T REMEMBER AND HE HAS ALREADY DECLARED ME RIGHTEOUS, THEN I CAN DO AS I PLEASE WITH NO CONSEQUENCES."

          IF YOU BELIEVE OR THINK THAT THIS STATEMENT IS TRUE, THEN YOU ARE DEAD WRONG AND WAY OFF BASE!

          YOU CAN BE SAVED AND STILL SIN!

          WHEN YOU DO, YOUR SIN WILL AFFECT YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD, BUT WILL NOT AFFECT YOUR SALVATION.

          ONCE YOU ARE TRULY SAVED BY GRACE AND JUSTIFIED BY GOD, THAT CONDITION CAN NEVER BE ALTERED!

          HOWEVER, WHEN YOU AS A BELIEVER SIN, YOU CAN EXPECT TWO THINGS TO HAPPEN:

          FIRST, YOU CAN BE SURE THAT YOU WILL REAP WHAT YOU SOW, GALATIANS 6:7-8.

          SECOND, YOU CAN  BE SURE THAT GOD WILL BRING HIS CHASTISEMENT INTO YOUR LIFE, HEBREWS 12:6-12.

           YOU MIGHT BE SAVED AND FORGIVEN AS FAR AS HEAVEN AND ETERNITY IS CONCERNED, BUT THERE WILL BE EARTHLY CONSEQUENCES FOR OUR SINFUL ACTIONS.                     LOW LIVING CARRIES A VERY HIGH PRICE.

          NOT ONLY DOES THE LORD SEE US AS WE REALLY ARE; HE ALSO SEES US AS HE HAS MADE US BY HIS GRACE.

          3.  GOD THINKS YOU ARE PRIVILEGED; VERSE 7b

          SATAN COMES BY AND TELLS THE BELIEVER THAT SERVING GOD IS A WASTE OF TIME.     THAT IT JUST DOESN'T PAY OFF TO LIVE RIGHT, GO TO CHURCH, PRAY, AND READ THE BIBLE.

          WELL, AS YOU MIGHT IMAGINE, GOD SEES THINGS JUST A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY.     HE TELLS US IN VERSE 7 THAT WE ARE A PRIVILEGED PEOPLE.

          A.  PRIVILEGED BECAUSE OF OUR EARTHLY HOPE

          I REALIZE THAT AS CHRISTIANS, WE ARE ALL LIVING FOR WHAT IS COMING AFTER THIS LIFE.     THAT IS WHEN WE EXPECT TO RECEIVE OUR INHERITANCE.     WHY?

          WELL, AN INHERITANCE IS USUALLY GIVEN AFTER THE DEATH OF THE ONE WHO OWNS THE INHERITANCE.

          THE ONE WHO PROMISED US AN INHERITANCE HAS ALREADY DIED AND RISEN FROM THE DEAD.

          I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO HEAVEN, BUT I AM A PARTAKER IF THE INHERITANCE OF THE LORD TODAY, ROMANS 8:15-17.

          HEAVEN WILL BE WONDERFUL, BUT I'VE GOT IT PRETTY GOOD TODAY.

          THE LORD IS ALWAYS WITH ME, HEBREWS 13:5 AND MATTHEW 28:20.

          THE LORD HAS PROMISED TO MEET ALL MY NEEDS, PHILIPPIANS 4:19 AND MATTHEW 6:25-34.

          HE CARES ABOUT ALL THAT I FACE IN LIFE, HEBREWS 4:15.

          HE LISTENS TO ME WHEN I PRAY, HEBREWS 4:16.

          IT SEEMS THAT THE LORD IS DOING HIS BEST TO SPOIL ME, LUKE 12:3.

          YOU CAN TAKE IT ANY WAY YOU PLEASE, BUT IF YOU ARE SAVED, YOU ARE A PRIVILEGED PERSON RIGHT NOW.

          B.  PRIVILEGED BECAUSE OF OUR ETERNAL HOPE.

          NOT ONLY ARE WE PRIVILEGED BECAUSE OF ALL WE HAVE HERE; WE ARE ALSO PRIVILEGED BECAUSE OF ALL THAT WE HAVE WAITING ON US WHEN WE LEAVE HERE.

          WE HAVE A HOME IN HEAVEN, JOHN 14:1-3.

          WE HAVE A PERFECT PLACE RESERVED FOR US IN HIS PRESENCE, 1st PETER 1:3-5.

          WE HAVE THE HOPE THAT WE ARE HEADED TO A CITY WHERE THERE WILL BE NO MORE DEATH, PARTING OR SORROW, REVELATION 21:4.

                    WE ARE PRIVILEGED PEOPLE!

                    WE HAVE THE BEST HERE AND HEREAFTER.

                    WHAT A GOD WE SERVE.

                    HE SEES US LIKE WE ARE, YET HE LOVES US.

                    HE SEES US AS HE MADE US.

                    HE SEES US AS WE WILL BE SOMEDAY.

          "MADE HEIRS"- ALL THAT WE HAVE; ALL THAT WE ARE; AND ALL THAT WE WILL BECOME, IS BECAUSE OF HIS AMAZING GRACE, PSALM 100:3.

          WE ARE A "PRECIOUS" PEOPLE.     HE SAVED US BY HIS GRACE, APART FROM ANY WORKS AT ALL; HE HAS MADE US A "PERFECT" PEOPLE.     HE BLESSES US IN MARVELOUS WAYS AND PROMISES US A HOME IN HEAVEN SOME DAY; WE ARE A "PRIVILEGED" PEOPLE.

          4.  GOD THINKS YOU ARE PROFITABLE; VERSE 1-2, 8

          SATAN, OR THE FLESH, OFTEN SAYS, "GOD CAN'T USE YOU.    YOU WILL AMOUNT TO NOTHING AS A CHRISTIAN.    LOOK AT THE THINGS YOU DO.    LOOK AT HOW YOU LIVE.    YOU ARE A FAILURE."

          WELL, THE TRUTH IS A DIFFERENT MATTER ALTOGETHER. THESE VERSES REMIND US THAT GOD SAVED US FOR A PURPOSE AND PART OF THAT PURPOSE IS SO THAT HE CAN USE US FOR HIS GLORY.

         A.  HE CAN USE YOUR WALK.

          VERSE 1: PAUL IS TELLING THESE FOLKS IN A DISCIPLINED MANNER.     THEY ARE TO OBEY THE LAWS OF THE LAND AND SUBMIT TO THE PEOPLE WHO ARE IN AUTHORITY OVER THEM.

          HE IS TELLING THEM THAT THEIR SIMPLE WALK OF FAITH IS PROOF THAT THEY ARE DIFFERENT FROM THE WORLD AROUND THEM.

          JUST THE WAY YOU CARRY YOURSELF DAY BY DAY IS A POWERFUL WITNESS TO THE WORLD AROUND YOU.     AS YOU LIVE FOR THE LORD AND DEMONSTRATE HIS LOVE AND GRACE, YOU ARE ALLOWING HIM TO LIVE THROUGH YOU AND GOD USES THAT TO TOUCH HEARTS.

          A DISCIPLINED HOLY LIFE IS A POWER TOOL IN THE HAND OF THE LORD, MATTHEW 5:16.

          YOU MIGHT NOT THINK THAT BOWING YOUR HEAD OVER LUNCH IS A LOT, BUT GOD CAN USE IT.

          YOU MIGHT NOT THINK THAT READING YOUR BIBLE AT BREAK TIME IS MUCH, BUT GOD CAN USE THAT TOO.

          YOU MIGHT NOT THINK ABOUT IT BUT JUST SHOWING UP ON TIME AND DOING A DAYS WORK FOR A DAYS PAY IS A POWERFUL TESTIMONY TO GOD'S SAVING GRACE IN YOUR LIFE.

          B.  HE CAN USE YOUR WITNESS

           VERSE 2 - PAUL TELLS THESE PEOPLE THAT THE WAY THEY TREAT OTHERS IS A TESTIMONY IN THE HANDS OF GOD.

          THEY ARE TOLD TO AVOID FIGHTING AND GOSSIPING AND JUST TREAT PEOPLE WITH GENTLENESS AND MEEKNESS.     HE IS MERELY TELLING THEM TO HAVE THE TESTIMONY THAT THEY ARE DIFFERENT.
          THE WAY IN WHICH WE CONDUCT OURSELVES AROUND OTHERS, AND THE WAY WE TREAT OTHERS, IS AS POWERFUL A WITNESS AS ANY WE GIVE WITH OUR LIPS.     SOMEONE ONCE SAID, "WHAT YOU DO SPEAKS SO LOUD THAT I CANNOT HEAR WHAT YOU ARE SAYING,"     THAT IS COMPLETELY TRUE!

          WHEN WE LIVE RIGHT AND TREAT OTHERS AS JESUS WOULD TREAT THEM, LUKE 6:31, IT IS A POWERFUL WITNESS AND GOD CAN USE IT FOR HIS GLORY.     OF COURSE, WHEN WE DON'T TREAT OTHERS RIGHT, IT IS A POWERFUL WITNESS TOO.

          C.  HE CAN USE YOUR WORKS

          WHEN YOU SET YOUR HEART TO GO AFTER GOD THE RESULTS WILL BE GOOD WORKS.     YOU WILL SOON DISCOVER THAT GOD DID NOT SAVE YOU JUST TO KEEP YOU OUT OF HELL.; HE SAVED YOU TO PUT YOU TO WORK FOR HIM, EPHESIANS 2:10; 2nd CORINTHIANS 9:8; COLOSSIANS 1:10; JAMES 2:18.

          YOU MIGHT NOT THINK THAT GOD CAN USE YOU, BUT HE CAN.     IF YOU WILL DO WHAT GOD TELLS YOU TO DO, YOUR LIFE WILL BE A LIFE OF IMMENSE PROFIT FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD.

          SATAN MIGHT TELL YOU IT IS NOT TRUE; YOUR FLESH MIGHT TRY TO STAND IN YOUR WAY; BUT GOD SAVED YOU KNOWING WHAT YOU WERE AND WHAT YOU WERE CAPABLE OF BECOMING BY HIS POWER.

          HE SAVED YOU TO USE YOU AND HE WILL USE YOU BECAUSE HE SEES WHAT HE CAN DO THROUGH YOU FOR HIS GLORY.

          CONCLUSION:

           SO, WHAT DOES GOD THINK OF YOU?

           HE THINKS YOU ARE "PRECIOUS", "PERFECT", "PRIVILEGED", AND "PROFITABLE".

           THAT'S HOW HE SEES YOU.

           WHAT DO YOU NEED TO DO IN YOUR LIFE TO LINE UP WITH HIS VISION OF YOU?

           HAS HE SHOWN YOU THAT THERE IS ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT IN YOUR WALK WITH HIM AND YOUR WORK FOR HIM?

           IF SO, GET TO HIM AND DEAL WITH IT.

           THE THINGS I HAVE MENTIONED TODAY ARE ONLY TRUE IF YOU HAVE BEEN SAVED BY GOD'S GRACE.

           WHAT DOES GOD THINK OF YOU IF YOU ARE NOT SAVED?

           HE THINKS YOU ARE IN TROUBLE.     HE THINKS YOU ARE LIVING A DANGEROUS LIFE.

           HE LOOKS AT YOU WITH LOVE AND KNOWS THAT THERE IS A WAY OUT OF YOUR SINFUL CONDITION.

           THERE IS HOPE FOR YOU IF YOU WILL COME TO JESUS AND BE SAVED.

           AMEN!
