A imitation pedagogy is gaining popularity amid Christians: the belief that God is never disappointed inward us because He forgets our sins as well as exclusively sees Jesus inward us.(1)
Scripture says believers tin cease disappoint God.
If nosotros couldn't disappoint God, He wouldn't give us this warning:
Ephesians 4:30: "...do non grieve the Holy Spirit of God, alongside whom y'all were sealed for the hateful solar daytime of redemption."
Scripture too urges us to notice out what pleases the Lord.
If nosotros e'er pleased God, these Scriptures (written to believers) wouldn't move necessary:
Ephesians 5:10: "…find out what pleases the Lord."
Colossians 1:10: "…live a life worthy of the Lord as well as delight him inward every way…"
Like whatsoever loving parent, God is disappointed inward His children when nosotros brand bad choices. He doesn't encompass His eyes as well as smile. He rebukes, corrects, as well as disciplines us for our good.
Hebrews 12:6: "the Lord disciplines the i he loves, as well as he chastens everyone he accepts every bit his son."
Revelation 3:19: "Those whom I honey I rebuke as well as discipline. So move earnest as well as repent."
(1) This thought has grown increasingly pop due to misunderstandings near "unconditional love." Please read Better Than Unconditional to pose those pop errors. Recently this mistake has too gained novel followers through the influential fiction book, The Shack. On page 206 the atomic number 82 graphic symbol Mack asks The Shack god if he's ever been disappointed inward him, as well as The Shack god emphatically says, "Never!"
