The Spirit of Grace Confronts Performance

deception of flesh >> performance

When my innermost need for love and worth is't met by a crave-filled relationship with our Creator, we mist try o meet our needs by a performance-filled relationship with everything bedsides GOD.

Exchange of the truth of GOD with a lie > Rom 1,22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.

My worth is rooted in God's grace not our performance


Jesus Christ: The Revelation of True Humanity

FIRST:
Jesus is a concrete example
Jesus showed me what does it mean to fully depend on God
Jesus showed me what it means to receive every thing what i need from the father
Jon 15,19 Jesus gave them this answer: “Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does.
30 By myself I can do nothing; I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me.His life manifested what does it mean to be perfectly submitted to the father
Mat 26,39 Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.”
Luk 22,42 “Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.”
John 5,30 By myself I can do nothing; I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me.
He showed what it is to talk with the father
He showed what it is to life unceasingly in the Father's presence
He showed what it is to radiate the Father's holiness and love in our lives

In short:
He perfectly manifested what humanity lost in the fall

and

How to regained when the resultes of the fall are reversed through the work of the Spirit of God in our lives.
