Всевидение Божие

A sinner, like a blind man, not seeing other people with him, thinks and dreams that no one sees him, just as he does not see anyone, and so he dares to commit lawless deeds. But he is greatly deceived, the poor man, for God, who is present with him, before whom he does and thinks everything, sees him, and sees every deed and thought he has, and writes it in His book, and on the last day will convict him. To the sinner God says: I will reprove you and bring your sins before your face (Ps. 49:21). “You thought that no one saw you when you did lawless deeds, but I saw you, I saw how you broke My law, and I will bring your iniquities before you. You created them secretly, but I will expose you before the whole world, Angels and people. Then you will know, sinner, that I saw everything, no matter what you did, began, or planned in your heart. You hide from people, but you cannot hide from Me anywhere.” Such a blind man is every fornicator, adulterer, defiler and lover of uncleanness, every thief, predator, robber and bribe-taking judge, every slanderer and tormenter of his neighbor's glory, everyone who treats a friend flatteringly, treacherously, cunningly, deceitfully, deceitfully and hypocritically, and others. Such people do not see with the eyes of their souls, rather than with their bodies, and they try to hide from people, but they cannot hide from the all-seeing God; they hide their lawless deeds from people, but God, who is greater than the entire world of men, sees them. Come to your senses, mad people among the people, and fools, in the end, understand! Doesn't he who made the ear hear? or Does not He who created the eye see (Ps. 93:8-9)? The Lord looked from heaven and saw all the sons of men. From His prepared dwelling, He looked at all those living on earth, He who created their hearts specially and delves into all their deeds (Ps. 32:13-15). Thy eyes, O Lord, are open to all the ways of the sons of men, to reward each one according to his way and according to the fruit of his deeds (Jer. 32:19)... You see, man, that although none of the people are with you, God the Judge is present with you. And although none of the people sees you, God sees your deeds, Whom you should fear and be ashamed of more than the whole world, more than all Angels and people, for before Him all creation is nothing. Be afraid and repent. And henceforth, beware of committing lawlessness in the eyes of God - lest you recognize His vengeful hand on yourself! Christians! We all walk and live before God, the King of heaven and earth, omnipresent and all-seeing. And everything we do, think and say, we do, think and say before His holy eyes, although we do not see Him. Thus His holy word assures us. Every wicked man destroys His holy law before Him. Every blasphemer blasphemes His holy and terrible name before Him. Every liar swears in a lie before Him by His holy and terrible name, and calls upon His great name in a lie before Him. Every villain and murderer kills a person before Him. Every fornicator, adulterer and lover of uncleanness is wicked before Him. Every thief, predator and robber before Him, His law ruins Him - do not steal. Every slanderer, scolder, harasser, reproacher, foul-mouthed and blasphemer commits iniquity before Him. Everyone who plots or thinks evil and evil in his heart, plots before Him, for God sees our heart and our thoughts. What annoyance and insult to our Creator could be greater than this? God is in every place, He looks at us all, hears all our words, sees our deeds and thoughts, and tests our hearts and wombs (Ps. 7:10), as His holy word preaches and our holy faith teaches. How do you walk before the omnipresent and all-seeing God? How do you speak before the One who hears your every word? How do you do and think before the One who sees your every deed and thought, and writes everything in His book, and will declare it to you on the day of His judgment? What thoughts about Himself do you harbor in your heart, are they in agreement with the Word of God and with the holy faith?
