Why is looking upon Christ important for believers?
Answered in 1 source
Looking upon Christ is essential as it leads to true faith and acknowledgment of our need for Him.
Looking upon Christ holds paramount importance for believers as it is through faith in Him that we find salvation and life. In John 19:37, the scripture emphasizes that we shall look on Him whom they pierced, indicating a personal acknowledgment of Christ's sacrifice for our sins. Similarly, in Zechariah 12:10, it states that the people will mourn for Him when they realize the gravity of their actions and their need for salvation. This act of looking is not merely physical but encompasses an inward gaze of faith, recognizing our sinfulness and the sufficiency of Christ's grace. It invites us into a deeper relationship with Him, where healing and hope are found.
