“To the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved.” (Eph 1:6, NKJV)

We are accepted “in the Beloved.” Some take this to mean we are only in the kingdom because we have a friend in high places. This is misleading. It’s like saying, “God can’t stand you personally but as a special favor to Jesus he’ll pretend he can’t see you.” I know, it’s silly. Yet some Christians are worried sick that if God knew the secrets of their hearts he would kick them out in a heartbeat. In order to avoid detection they maintain such a low profile you could mistake them for pancakes.

Others wear masks because they fear rejection. “If you knew who I really am, you wouldn’t love me.” Well guess what. God knows you better than you know yourself and he still loves you.

Genuine acceptance is based on knowledge. You can’t truly accept someone unless you know them and God knows you. He knows everything you have ever done and everything you will ever do. He knows your darkest secrets and every skeleton in your closest. He knows what you did last summer and what you’re going to do next winter. And despite knowing all this, your heavenly Father still loves you like crazy.

You may be worried that you will disappoint God. It’s not going to happen. It is literally impossible to disappoint an all-knowing God. When you make a mistake you may surprise yourself—“I can’t believe I did that”—but God is never surprised. Since nothing you do ever catches God off guard, rest assured that you can never disappoint him. When you stumble he responds with unaffected grace: “I knew you were going to do that, but don’t worry, I still love you.”

Jesus knew ahead of time that Peter was going to deny him and yet Jesus didn’t reject Peter. Instead he loved him and prayed for him. Jesus knew ahead of time that Judas would betray him and yet Jesus didn’t reject Judas. In the very act of betrayal Jesus called him “friend” signaling that even in that dark moment the door of acceptance remained wide open.

We don’t deserve any of this. We have done nothing to merit his favor. If anything, we have done plenty to warrant his displeasure. Yet Jesus reaches out to a sinful world and says, “Open the door and invite me in for dinner
.”

Jesus’ acceptance is mind-boggling. It’s like nothing on earth.

Fantastic2m:
May his grace be sufficient for us

amen...

Singing awesome God...
(awesome God)
MiGhty God (mighty God)
Oh, you are highly lifted up... Awesome God
Oh, you are highly lifted up.. .mighty God

your knowledge of God is subjective

its largely depend on what you want to say and what you want people to hear


yes you can never surprise/disappoint HIM but he EXPECT fruit from a tree HE created ?


until we really understand the motive behind religion, simple as it may, until then shall we be free

one thing religion taught me is

"what you say or do is very important but your approach is far more important"

therefore, no matter what your intentions are, your presentation is key

That one not stop him from been God

you are on ur own nah.

We have disappointed him already, that is why he sent BUHARI to Nigeria

Yeah you're right. Religion can be quite silly.

You may be worried that you will disappoint God. It’s not going to happen. It is literally impossible to disappoint an all-knowing God. When you make a mistake you may surprise yourself—“I can’t believe I did that”—but God is never surprised. Since nothing you do ever catches God off guard, rest assured that you can never disappoint him. When you stumble he responds with unaffected grace: “I knew you were going to do that, but don’t worry, I still love you.”

But I'll still send you to hell for eternity! Christian logic Silly!

WATS IN UR HEART WEN U DECIDE 2 FOLLOW CHRIST.

NOBODY CAN CHALLENGE GOD!

Romans 9:20
Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?

HopeAlive14:
What if I disappoint God?

1. I must realize that I have disappointed God

2. I must ask Him to forgive me

3. I must believe that He has heard my prayers and forgiven me.

4. I must endeavor, by His grace not to repeat the error again.

1 John 1:9 "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." (KJV)

MY BROTHER, U HAVE SAID IT ALL. PPLE CAN FOOL OTHERS, BUT IN D END, DER CONSCIENCE WILL JUDGE ALL ON D JUDGEMENT DAY.

³⁰“Truly I tell you,” Jesus replied, “this very night before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times.”
³¹But Peter kept insisting,
“Even if I have to die with You, I will never deny You.”
And all the others said the same.
- Mark 14:31

⁵⁴So they arrested Jesus and led him away to the chief priest's house. Peter followed at a distance.
⁵⁵Some men had lit a fire in the middle of the courtyard. As they sat together, Peter sat among them.
⁵⁶A female servant saw him as he sat facing the glow of the fire. She stared at him and said, "This man was with Jesus."
⁵⁷But Peter denied it by saying, "I don't know him, woman."
⁵⁸A little later someone else saw Peter and said, "You are one of them."
But Peter said, "Not me!"
⁵⁹About an hour later another person insisted, "It's obvious that this man was with him. He's a Galilean!"
⁶⁰But Peter said,
"I don't know what you're talking about!" Just then, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.
⁶¹Then the Lord turned and looked directly at Peter.
Peter remembered what the Lord had said:
"Before a rooster crows today, you will say three times that you don't know me."
⁶²Then Peter went outside and cried bitterly.
- Luke 22:54-62

Its impossible for an Omniscient, Omni-know-everything to be and/or get disappointed
Case in point, Jesus was not DISAPPOINTED, when or after Peter DENIED Him three times

OP are you Jehovah witness?
