The Revelation of Faith
“But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his spirit: For the Spirit searcheth all things, yeah, the deep things of God/” (I Corinthians 2: 9 - 10).
“By the sanctification of the spirit and belief of the truth the believer is given spiritual eyes. Spiritual eyes are eyes that see what others cannot and will not see. The apostle, Paul describes this vision in II Corinthians 4: 18, saying…‘We look not at things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: For the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.’ The faith of God’s elect is the gift of God that enables the believer to see through the eyes of God. John said of Christ, ‘What he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no man receiveth his testimony. He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true’ (John 3: 32-33). The eyes of faith see through God’s eyes. They see God as He is, man as he is, and Christ reconciling the two. They see the eternal, immutable, purpose of God in redemption. They see the everlasting covenant of grace and the one mediator between God and men accomplishing the will of God concerning these things. The eyes of faith see a bleeding substitute satisfying the justice of God concerning their sins and His righteous obedience as their own righteousness making them ‘holy, unblameable and unreprovable in His sight’ ( Colossians 1:22). Seeing through His eyes we see the perfection of God in all He has done and find as God did when he looked upon His work that it is good and complete and sufficient to cease from our labors and enter into His rest.”
