There are times when we are faced with expectations that we may look for loopholes or shortcuts. If we are seeking an advantage, we may look to make the path of others a little more challenging. However, God is clear. We do not need to add or subtract from His teaching and expectations!
God presents His expectations to us. He outlines how we should live. God also provides a plan to help us accomplish these things. God sent His Son to die as a sacrifice for our sin. We are called to accept Jesus Christ as our Savior. The path to eternal life is as simple as that. There is no less that we can do and there is no more that others have to do. As long as we truly accept Jesus and follow God, God will forgive us and help us to meet His expectations!
There are no loopholes, accept Jesus and allow God to help you meet His expectations!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for Jesus and Your plan to help me meet Your expectations. Please forgive me and help me to live as You want me to live. In Jesus I pray, amen.
