How do we know that believers are accepted by God?
Answered in 2 sources
Believers are accepted by God through their union with Christ, as stated in Ephesians 1:6: 'He has made us accepted in the Beloved.'
The acceptance of believers before God is wholly based on their union with Christ. Ephesians 1:6 assures us that we are 'accepted in the Beloved,' meaning that our righteousness and standing before God come not from our works or merits but through Jesus Christ. This understanding highlights the sovereignty of God's grace in choosing and redeeming us, ensuring that no one who trusts in Christ will face rejection. Our acceptance is secured by the finished work of Christ, underscoring that it is His righteousness that is imputed to us.
