Eyes That Are Open
Introduction:
• Before we came to God we mainly were
focused on things of the world (1 Jn. 2:1517). 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

Eyes That Are Open

  • 2. Introduction: • Before we came to God we mainly were focused on things of the world (1 Jn. 2:1517). 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
  • 3. 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
  • 4. 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
  • 5. 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
