SEEING Is a Marker of the Covenant.

“Without holiness, no one will SEE the Lord.” Hebrews 12:14
Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot SEE the kingdom of God.” John 3:3
“I SEE heaven opened and the son of man standing at the right hand of the glory of God.” Acts 7:56
“...have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that you may be PARTAKERS OF THE DIVINE GOD-NATURE, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through the sinful nature.” 2Peter 1:4
We have to question out loud the spiritual condition, even salvation itself, of a person who can willfully hang out with and never question (or apply Jesus’ spiritual pressure) to an unsaved person who claims to wear Jesus’ name. They are hanging around “with no oil” of their own, and therefore cannot be part of the wedding party.
We must question to ourselves and of others those who absolutely cannot see themselves correctly, and therefore easily judge others or judge God.
If one cannot “SEE” — then are they really of a divine nature? Probably not. Which puts the ball in our court to make sure they know that. Those who have not faced that skandalon for themselves will never change.
