We have a new perspective.
“So then, from now on, we have a new perspective that refuses to evaluate people merely by their outward appearances… Now, if anyone is enfolded into Christ, he has become an entirely new creation. All that is related to the old order has vanished. Behold, everything is fresh and new. And God has made all things new, and reconciled us to himself, and given us the ministry of reconciling others to God.”
2 Corinthians 5:16-18 (TPT)
Yes, we have a new perspective of evaluating anyone who just stepped into the Kingdom of God.
Yes, don’t judge a new child of God by what you see immediately about their past life.
Yes, give them a break.
They have potentials in the Kingdom of God.
Furthermore, first, locate the spiritual perspective of any relationship you are in.
Initially, the Brethren ran away from the Saul of Tarsus that persecuted the church.
God Spoke to Ananias to go and lay hands on him.
“But Lord,” Ananias replied, “many have told me about his terrible persecution of those in Jerusalem who are devoted to you. In fact, the high priest has authorized him to seize and imprison all those in Damascus who call on your name.” The Lord Yahweh answered him, “Arise and go! I have chosen this man to be my special messenger….”
Act 9 :13-16 (TPT)
We are careful not to judge people by what they seem to be.
Encourage brethren to carefully treat fellows who backslide from the faith and make an effort to restore them. (2 Corinthians 2:6-8)
Don’t write anybody off.
However, locate them spiritually first.
Walk in the Spirit at all times.
That is who you are as a child of God.
Always, Always have the Spiritual perspective of any assignment God has given you.
You are seated and ruling with Christ.
Find out first what is the Kingdom’s agenda?.
Bring heaven’s wish to pass in the earthly realm.
“Manifest your kingdom realm, and cause your every purpose to be fulfilled on earth, just as it is fulfilled in heaven.” Matthew 6:10 (TPT)
Stop stressing yourself based only on facts from the earth.
Yes, let your New and Normal be Heaven’s perspective on any issue.
