Welcome to Hank’s Place
Here at Hank’s Place the focus is on JESUS – and what happened, what JESUS did at Calvary. Mankind’s sins were placed upon Jesus, the punishment for those sins given to Jesus – and righteousness imparted to us; that is, to anyone–everyone who believes upon Jesus! He even made us what Paul calls New Creations in His righteousness. 2 Cor 5:17.
There has been a superseding of the covenant God put into effect at Mt Sinai, with a better covenant, one of grace, in Jesus’ blood; a covenant in which God has sworn to do us GOOD – again, to anyone, everyone, who believes in Jesus, God’s son, our Savior.
This is an amazing truth. Friend, we need to go beyond mere mental assent of this truth, to go beyond mere marveling, and BELIEVE it, and step into this new identity we have been given! Do you believe the words of 2 Cor 5:17, that you are a righteous new creation? Is that the identity you identify with?
This is so important! Consider: in Matt 16, after some 2 years of being together, Jesus asks his disciples who do the people say he is; then, he asks who do they, the disciples, say he is. They respond with what the people are saying, but have no answer themselves until Simon Peter gets a divine revelation: “You are the Christ, the son of the Living God” he says!
There is much more to this, but today let me ask you a 3 part question about your identity: 1) who do people say YOU are? 2) who does God say YOU are? And 3) who do YOU say you are? For what you believe will mean the difference between life as God has intended for you, or what the devil has desired for you – or somewhere in between! I urge you, don’t settle for less than God’s truth about you!
Know this, dear believer: you ARE righteous. You have been made an HEIR of God and are FAVORED of God, because of Calvary. Toss out any doubt about it! People, parents, loved ones, teachers, co-workers may say another thing; but I say: BELIEVE God’s word concerning you; reject the lies, and you – will Come Alive!
