GOD SEES ALL!

• Somebody Is Watching You!

3
There Is Someone That Is Aware of Everything
We Say, Do,
or Think!

• GOD
• Such an awareness should have a major impact in
  the way we live our lives!

4
We Are Often More Concerned with
What Man Sees Rather
Than God.

• We are more concerned about being caught by
  people than God Himself!
• We foolishly think that we have gotten away
  with it when no one sees us sin.

Acts 51-3 (NASB)

• 1 But a certain man named Ananias, with his wife
  Sapphira, sold a piece of property, 2 and kept
  back some of the price for himself, with his
  wife's full knowledge, and bringing a portion of
  it, he laid it at the apostles' feet. 3 But Peter
  said, "Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart
  to lie to the Holy Spirit, and to keep back some
  of the price of the land?

6
Acts 54-6 (NASB)

• 4 "While it remained unsold, did it not remain
  your own? And after it was sold, was it not under
  your control? Why is it that you have conceived
  this deed in your heart? You have not lied to
  men, but to God." 5 And as he heard these words,
  Ananias fell down and breathed his last and
  great fear came upon all who heard of it. 6 And
  the young men arose and covered him up, and after
  carrying him out, they buried him.

  That God Is Watching Us!

People Than Pleasing God.

• 1 "Beware of practicing your righteousness
  before men to be noticed by them otherwise you
  have no reward with your Father who is in heaven.

  trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the
  synagogues and in the streets, that they may be
  honored by men. Truly I say to you, they have
  their reward in full. 3 "But when you give alms,
  do not let your left hand know what your right
  hand is doing 4 that your alms may be in secret
  and your Father who sees in secret will repay you

10
Matthew 65-6 (NASB)

• 5 "And when you pray, you are not to be as the
  hypocrites for they love to stand and pray in
  the synagogues and on the street corners, in
  order to be seen by men. Truly I say to you, they
  have their reward in full. 6 "But you, when
  you pray, go into your inner room, and when you
  have shut your door, pray to your Father who is
  in secret, and your Father who sees in secret
  will repay you.
