Perception is Reality?  The Seen vs. the Unseen.

     The final images show how our visual perception can hide ugliness, which is similar to how we can hide the ugliness of sin in our lives from ourselves.  Observe the image below.  The two faces are similar, but the one marked "B" looks somewhat distorted, but how distorted?  Click the image to find out, by turning the image right side up.

    
     Did you think that image "B" could possibly look that bad?  This is how God views our sin, with all of its true ugliness.  While our perception of sin can soften its appearance to ourselves, as in the first image above, our sin cannot be hidden from God.  God is very clear in the Bible on what he considers sin to be.

     God sent his son Jesus Christ to earth to die for our sins, so that we can become right with God.  All that is asked is that we accept Jesus Christ as our Savior.  In return for this acceptance of Christ into our lives as Lord and Savior, we are given everlasting life:

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."
 - John 3:16
