Question 1: Everything on earth must be viewed through the lens of…?
Everything on earth must be viewed through the lens of The Word of God to know the truth. Jesus Christ is The Word of God who became flesh. Therefore, everything on earth must be viewed through Jesus Christ who came and showed us the way because He is The Way, The Truth, and The life. Therefore, Jesus Christ is our model and the model we should follow.
Question 2: Does it matter how we see things?
Yes, how a person sees things matters because the way and manner a person sees and interpret things or events does affect the person and how the person live in the world and interact with others. Hence the importance of seeing and interpreting things and events through the lens of The Word of God who is Jesus Christ who is The Way, The Truth, and The Life. This means that any perspective outside The Word of God is a lie and leads to death.
