It has been historically taught that "God can't look upon sin".
The good news is that God is VERY capable of looking upon sin. He stepped into our sinful world, hung out with sinners and then took the sins of the whole world away. All without needing to cover His eyes the whole time like a child playing pin the tail on the donkey!
It sounds to me like God has never had a problem looking upon sin. Rather the lie has been spread by two main groups of people... [Hebrews 2:14]
A) Self righteous people who believe that God looks upon them because of their good deeds. (older brother mentality)
B) Sinners who have had a hard time believing God could look upon them favorably because of all their bad deeds (younger brother mentality)
A & B actually thrive off each other...
They need each other to keep the lie alive.
Jesus came to smash that thinking to pieces... Colossians 2:14-15
The good news is that God doesn't base His relationship with you on how good or how bad you are may be. Rather He simply chooses to have relationship with you, loving you like no one else. Do we really think God doesn't know we can't be perfect without His help?
If you think you have the ability to be what God designed you to be without the Help of His Spirit, let me know...
Grace is not earned by limiting your bad behavior or even making amends for your bad behavior. Nor is it earned by increasing your good works!
God's grace is given to you without measure and without prejudice!
Here's the deal - looking upon sin has never been a problem for God. He's been doing very little since shortly after day 6! :)
Des hommes ont enseignés historiquement que «Dieu ne peut pas regarder le péché».
La bonne nouvelle est que Dieu est vraiment capable de regarder le péché. Il est entré dans notre monde pécheur, s'est baladé avec les pécheurs, mangé avec les pécheurs et a pris les péchés du monde entier. Tout sans avoir à couvrir ses yeux tout le temps comme un enfant jouant à la queue sur l'âne! [Hebrew 2:14]
Il me semble que Dieu n'a jamais eu un problème à regarder le péché. Plutôt le mensonge a été répandu par deux groupes principaux de personnes ...
A) Les personnes droites qui croient que Dieu les regarde à cause de leurs bonnes actions.
B) Les pécheurs qui ont eu du mal à croire que Dieu pourrait les considérer favorablement à cause de toutes leurs mauvaises actions.
A & B se prospèrent réellement ...
Ils ont besoin l'un de l'autre pour garder le mensonge en vie.
Jésus est venu pour briser cette pensée en morceaux ... [Colossiens 2:14-15]
La bonne nouvelle est que Dieu ne base pas sa relation avec vous sur la qualité ou la gravité de votre vie ou condition. Plutôt, il choisit simplement d'avoir une relations avec vous, Il choisit de vous aimer comme personne d'autre.
La grâce n'est pas gagnée en limitant vos mauvais comportements ou même en réparant votre mauvaise conduite. Meme pas en augmentant vos bonnes oeuvres!
La grâce de Dieu vous est donnée sans mesure et sans préjugés!
Voici l'affaire - regarder le péché n'a jamais été un problème pour Dieu. Il fait très peu depuis peu après le jour 6! :)
Amen. Let it be so.

I agree, a lot of people think being a good person and doing deeds is all you need to make the cut at the Pearly Gates, but the Bible also says God is fair Judge, and people need to remember to take His Grace He has offered, they need to proclaim and believe why Jesus died on the Cross for them, so you can repent and go forth and sin no more, meaning, don't do it again. We are not saints, we are humans born into world of sin. Gof loves you unconditionally and no matter what you did, He knows your heart and knows if you are truelly repentant, it is not for us to judge another's past. Thanks for the post :)

It's amazing to see that people that are condemning others, are the people that are doing the worse stuff ever. We can't be better without the HELP of the Spirit of God!

Jesus came and brought grace into play. Let me ask you this. If God has no problem on looking at sin, then how do you explain the Holy of Holies? If a priest came into the Holy of Holies with even one sin that wasn't atoned for, he would drop dead immediately.
Rather I think because of grace we no longer have to have that fear, but at the same time we still aren't looking at the face of God.
I think that there are different "rules" if you want to put it that way. Concerning sin and the three different parts of the Godhead.
God the Father cannot be in the midst of sin without that thing dropping dead.
God the Son can, and purposefully will put himself in situations around sinners in order to change that person into something that is Holy.
God the Holy Spirit, I'm still working that out as that part of God is a little bit more mysterious, but it seems as though it resides in a person being a guide, but convicts sin and therefore helps to stay away from unholiness in ones own life.

I'm confused... Yes God does love us if that is what you are saying... but he doesn't love the sin in us. I still don't understand how you are bringing that into play with the Holy of Holies
