Behold & Become
2 Corinthians 3:18 NIV
Why should I behold God over all other things?
Behold God as MOST PRECIOUS.
He is the only One WORTHY.
As I behold Him, I become LIKE HIM.
Revelation 5:1-14 NIV
Can we behold God NOW?
YES!
Through Scripture, prayer, worship…
Have I allowed anything other than God to become “my precious”?
People’s perception of me
Personal comfort
Behold God as MOST PRECIOUS.
He is the only one WORTHY.
In beholding Him, WE BECOME LIKE HIM.
What are you becoming?
It probably has a lot to do with what you are beholding as most precious.
My NEXT STEP with God this week:
-Is there anything I am “beholding” as more precious to me than God Himself? (perception of others, comfort)
-Commit to “no Bible, no breakfast”, spending daily time in the Bible for the purpose of knowing God better (and becoming more like Him in the process).
-Behold God this summer by reading 2 books about two of God’s most dominant characteristics: holiness and compassion. “The Holiness of God” by RC Sproul and “Gentle & Lowly” by Dane Ortlund.
