Introduction: • Before we came to God we mainly were

focused on things of the world (1 Jn. 2:15-

17). We were spiritually blinded from the

truth (2 Cor. 4:3-6).

• When we turn to God by His word we begin

to see Him and His truth through faith.

Romans 10:17; Mt. 13:13-17; Heb. 11:6

• The purpose of Christ’s truth is to open our

spiritual eyes of understanding and save us.

Acts 26:18

Building A New You Means…

• We realize that life and

blessings come from God.

Psalm 119:17

• That you must develop eyes

that are open to God’s word.

Psalm 119:18, 24

• Our devotion to learn God’s

truth must be intense.

Psalm 119:20

Open Eyes Are Grateful To God! • We should seek God’s blessings and life.

Psalm 119:17

• Because life and blessings come from God!

– Every good and perfect gift… James 1:17

– We have our life and breath and all things

from Him! Acts 17:25, 28

– We should develop the great reverence and

view of Job concerning life and death.

Job 1:20-22

– Jesus wants us to enjoy life abundantly.

John 10:10

Open Eyes Will Seek God’s Truth! • Because we know that it is God who can

open our eyes of understanding and fill us

with the knowledge we need! Ps. 119:18

• We will become an avid student of the Holy

Scriptures. 2 Tim. 3:15-17; 1 Tim. 4:15-16

• God will allow us to grow in our knowledge

and understanding as we study.

2 Timothy 2:15; Eph. 5:17

– Through this God will strengthen and

ground us in the truth of Christ.

Col. 2:6-7; Eph. 3:16-19

Open Eyes Will Be Devoted To God! • We must develop an understanding of the

immense value of God’s word.

Psalm 119:20, 81

– Just as we see in Proverbs 13:12-14…

• Thus, our devotion to God who gives us this

understanding and wisdom will increase more

and more. Psalm 119:33-40, 44

– We become faithfully dedicated to God.

Proverbs 16:3; 1 Peter 4:19

– This will cause us to be right in God’s sight.

Colossians 1:22-23

Let Jesus Open Your Eyes!

• Be sure to come to God and open

your eyes so that you can truly

become that new creation in Christ

that God has called us to be.

• Jesus says to become saved:

– Hear and learn… John 6:45; 14:6

– Believe the gospel…Mark 16:15-16

– Repent of sin… Luke 24:47

– Confess Him… Matthew 10:32

– Be baptized… Mark 16:16
