AI is an amazing thing. There are now apps for your phone that will allow you to describe something and the AI will try to draw what you described. These two pictures below are the results when asking the AI what evil looks like to God. All sin is evil. If these two individuals showed up to your front door would you let them into your house? I'm guessing probably not. Yet this is an interpretation of what God might see when he looks at us without Jesus. Why then would we expect to stand at the gates of Heaven in front of a Holy God looking like this and be let in to a perfect, sinless paradise? Everyone sins. Everyone has looked like this to God at some point in their lives. Everyone in heaven once looked like this to God
22 This righteousness is given through faith in[h] Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile, 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. - Romans 3:22-24
. Remember these are just interpretations of an artificial intelligence. The reality is much much worse. The good news is if we are in Christ God no longer sees our sins, but His own righteousness when He looks at us.
What does God see when he looks at you? Repent and Believe and He will see His own righteousness reflecting off of you.
17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come:[a] The old has gone, the new is here! 18 All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: 19 that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. 20 We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God. 21 God made him who had no sin to be sin[b] for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. - 2nd Corinthians 5:17-21
