How do we know that believers are accepted by God?

Answered in 4 sources

Believers are accepted by God through their union with Christ, who fully satisfied divine justice through His obedience and sacrifice.

The acceptance of believers by God hinges on their identification with Christ. As stated in Ephesians 1:6, believers are accepted in the Beloved, meaning their standing before God is based on Christ’s righteousness, not on their own. God's acceptance is irrevocable and remains true regardless of a believer's actions or feelings since it is rooted in what Christ accomplished on Calvary. This unconditional acceptance provides believers the confidence to approach God without fear or condemnation, as God's judgment for sin was fully transferred onto Christ, ensuring that in Him, they are seen as perfectly righteous.
