The Bible reveals to us the mind of God and the way God thinks.
If we, therefore, will get in the Bible, we will see things through the eyes of God rather than seeing things through our own eyes, or through the eyes of others, or through the eyes of the world, or through the eyes of religion.
God's eyes see the future, and if we will get in the Bible, we will see the future through His eyes rather than seeing a future that is uncertain, which is always a future of questionable circumstances, and which is a future always filled with if, if, if.
Wouldn't you really rather know the future that is truthful instead of a future that is based on guesswork and speculation?
"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.
For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:
So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the things whereto I sent it." (Isaiah 55: 8-11)
Judas Iscariot, for example, could have had heaven. He could have become an apostle, a preacher of the Gospel, or perhaps he could have written a book about Christ. Instead, Judas was looking through his own eyes and all his eyes could see was the power he would receive with a pocketful of loose change. And on the day when Jesus died on a cross for the sins of the world in Jerusalem, Judas also died and went to hell.
Jesus said,
"For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?" (Mark 8: 36-37)
So is looking through the eyes of God important?
God wants us to be in heaven with Him. But do we want to be in heaven with God?
If so, then we must believe in God and agree with Christ because God's eyes are on His Son.
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved." (John 3: 16-17)
