God's Perspective | The Journey Church

Real life changes start with real heart changes. Real heart change begins with changing what we believe in our mind and our hearts. What we believe in our hearts begins with the way we view a situation. Viewing things from God’s perspective will change your life. The Bible says those who believe in Jesus Christ are new creatures (2 Corinthians 5:15). Believers have eternal life and the nature of God (1John 5:10-13). As believers we have been delivered out of Satan’s power and translated into God’s Kingdom (Colossians 1:12-14).

Start seeing things from God’s perspective and watch his blessings unfold in your life!
