The Sinner's Help and Hope

What is the significance of the Psalmist lifting up his eyes? What is an 'evil eye' and what does it look to for hope? Are those who are blind happy to be so? Is the 'eye of Faith' a gift or something you decide to have? Is God in Christ or with Christ? Why is it ironic that the word 'pharisee' means 'purist'? What does 'born again' mean according to Christ? Why did Christ say you must be born by Water and by Spirit and how is it a snare to those who have not been given the Spirit's eyes? How do we know from the Scripture that salvation is not based on race but on Grace?
