Seeing Each Other Through God's Eyes - "Sometimes Even Christian Get It Wrong" Colossians 2:8 NIV See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world rather than on Christ. 1. Christians can get it wrong when we let culture shape us instead of Scripture. 2. Christians can get it wrong when we make human reasoning the starting point instead of Scripture. 3. Christians can get it wrong when we allow our experiences to define biblical truth instead of allowing biblical truth define our experiences. 1 Corinthians 15:35-49 NIV But someone will ask, “How are the dead raised? With what kind of body will they come?”How foolish! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies.When you sow, you do not plant the body that will be, but just a seed, perhaps of wheat or of something else.But God gives it a body as he has determined, and to each kind of seed he gives its own body.Not all flesh is the same: People have one kind of flesh, animals have another, birds another and fish another.There are also heavenly bodies and there are earthly bodies; but the splendor of the heavenly bodies is one kind, and the splendor of the earthly bodies is another.The sun has one kind of splendor, the moon another and the stars another; and star differs from star in splendor.So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishableit is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in powerit is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.So it is written: “The first man Adam became a living being”; the last Adam, a life-giving spirit.The spiritual did not come first, but the natural, and after that the spiritual.The first man was of the dust of the earth; the second man is of heaven.As was the earthly man, so are those who are of the earth; and as is the heavenly man, so also are those who are of heaven.And just as we have borne the image of the earthly man, so shall we bear the image of the heavenly man. Isaiah 35:5-6 NIV Then will the eyes of the blind be opened and the ears of the deaf unstopped.Then will the lame leap like a deer, and the mute tongue shout for joy. Water will gush forth in the wilderness and streams in the desert. 2 Corinthians 5:17 NIV Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! Galatians 3:26-29 NIV So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faithfor all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise. Colossians 2:8 NIV See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world rather than on Christ.
