How do we know our acceptance before God?

The question of acceptance before God is answered in Psalm 125, which states that 'they that trust in the Lord shall be as Mount Zion.' Our acceptance is not contingent on our own righteousness or deeds, which are insufficient. Instead, we are accepted on the basis of our faith in Christ's redemptive work. As believers dressed in the righteousness of Christ, we are granted access to God, gaining favor through the merits of our Savior. Thus, our assurance of acceptance lies in our trust in the complete work of Christ, rather than any human effort.
