Performance Expectations – 301

 

Welcome to Hank’s Place

At Hank’s Place I like to say, “You’ve come home.” You are welcome to come and visit, stay as long as you wish. We don’t have expectations for you here at Hank’s Place. And while you are here, we do hope you will taste and see that the Lord is GOOD. Ps 34:8.

The world has expectations for you. You must perform in order to be accepted. Even in churches today you may hear preaching about what the Lord expects from you. Now that you are a Christian you had better get your act together. Familiar? Such preaching fails to appreciate the grace of God revealed through Jesus.

My dear friend, listen to this excerpt from Ephesians 1:3-7 in the NKJV:  Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, (Father God holds back NOTHING from us – in Jesus Christ. Receive Jesus, believe and receive and receive and receive from the abundance of God’s grace, being changed from glory to glory). 

It goes on. In Jesus we are blameless before Him, and, get this, ADOPTED as sons of God. Galatians 3:26 and 4:6. It is His good pleasure, demonstrating His glorious grace. GOD making us accepted in His Son – forever! 

So TODAY — reject those lies about God punishing you. He has already punished Jesus for OUR sins. Reject the words of anger, hatred, violence so loud in the media. You are not condemned. You are accepted in Jesus. Believe the love which God has for you. Receive it, share with others; help them COME ALIVE!
