 "question": "What is the difference between human viewpoint and divine viewpoint?",
 "answer": "Human viewpoint sees only the surface of other people, based on human perception and logic. In contrast, divine viewpoint sees all the potential in others, recognizing their infinite worth vested by God through the sacrifice of His Son. This transformation occurs at salvation, where believers become totally new creatures in Christ, receiving a new position, life, power, purpose, and destiny. As new creations, we are commanded to have the mind of Christ (Phil. 2:5), which is opposed to human perception and logic. To think like Christ, we must know and understand how He thought, through consistent study and application of the Word in conscious dependence on the Holy Spirit. The Bible says, “Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus” (Phil. 2:5), and that our attitude should be one of humility, regarding others as more important than ourselves (Phil. 2:3–4). This is a command to keep on thinking like Jesus Christ thought, and it is only through the Word that we can know how or what to think.",
