Welcome to Hank’s Place —
In these times of political, national, world unrest it is easy to feel insecure and uncertain. But what about eternity, our eternal destination?
I’ve shared many times that the Cross has changed everything. At the Cross Jesus took the sins of humanity, and their punishment. In exchange, for those who would BELIEVE this GOOD NEWS, Jesus has imparted HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS.
As Romans 8:1 declares, “So now the case is closed. There remains no accusing voice of condemnation against those who are joined in life-union with Jesus, the Anointed One.” Eternally uncondemned.
Through Jesus we have been liberated from the “law” of sin and death. Our having to make ourselves acceptable to God. Every righteous requirement of the law has been fulfilled through the Anointed One living His life in us.
But if you think you can sin all you want and still get to heaven, well, I wonder if you are born again, for Paul throughout his epistles basically says, “You ARE NO LONGER an unbeliever, a sinner, so don’t act like one. Having nothing to do with the old life that you came out of, lest you fall back into the old ways.”
We have been joined to the Spirit of the Anointed One. Now Christ lives His life in us!
We have received the “Spirit of full acceptance,” enfolding us into the family of God. We should never feel orphaned. Listen! Can you hear the Holy Spirit whispering, “You are God’s beloved child!” Romans 8:16.
Dr Paul Ellis has compiled over 130 New Testament promises guaranteeing our eternal security. A link to these are found in my message description.
Here are just a few:
Hebrews 13:5 – He Himself has said, “I will never desert you, nor will I ever abandon you,”
John 6:37 – Everyone that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I certainly will not cast out.
John 14:16-17 – I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, so that He may be with you forever…(and) you know Him because He remains with you and will be in you.
Hebrews 10:17 – And their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no longer.
AND –
Revelation 3:5 – The one who overcomes (and that is those who believe in Jesus) will be clothed the same way, in white garments; and I will not erase his name from the book of life, and I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels.
God’s got us believers, dear friend. He is keeping us safe – and secure. Be confident.
And COME ALIVE!
