How To Be Accepted!
"Accept one another,
then, just as Christ
accepted you."
Romans 15: 7
Every person worries about acceptance.
People often fret with being accepted by
others, whether at school, at work, in
sports, or in personal relationships.
Jacob worried about this regarding his brother
Esau. “I will appease him with the
present that
goes before me, and afterward I will see his
face; perhaps he will accept me,” Jacob said
in Genesis 32:20.
When it comes to our Heavenly Father, there is
no “perhaps.” Ephesians 1:6 says, “To the praise
of the glory of His grace, by which He made us
accepted in the Beloved.”
The question
becomes—will we accept
His acceptance? Will we accept Jesus
Christ as our Savior and Lord?
Answer: “Yes!”
You are accepted in the Beloved!
"You may be wondering how you can accept
yourself since you know how much you blow
it and sin. The answer is this: if God accepts
you, who are you to reject
yourself?"
Mark Maulding
