Purer Eyes

“Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity…” (Habakkuk 1:13).

God is perfect. We are not. God can not mix with unrighteousness. We are unrighteous. The solution? Jesus Christ. Jesus is the covering for our sins. He is our atonement. Jesus is the mediator, the bridge, the go between for us and God. The only way to the Father is through the Son.

“But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.” (Isaiah 64:6)

Even though we are unclean, God still does not want us to die. It is by His mercy that He gave us His Son Jesus, our avenue away from sin, unrighteousness and death. Salvation and life become ours when we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior.
