The Eyes of the Lord

Pastor Shane’s message on 1 Peter 3:8-12 emphasizes living a righteous life through compassion, love, and blessing others, even in the face of criticism or evil. He explores the biblical distinctions between being forgiven of sin, loved by God, and being righteous. Forgiveness removes guilt, God’s love is unconditional, and righteousness reflects living in alignment with God’s will. Pastor Shane underscores that living righteously invites God’s favor, as His eyes are on the righteous, and He listens to their prayers. This message highlights how forgiveness and righteousness, rooted in God’s love, open the door to a transformed, blessed life.
