How do we know that God accepts us?

Answered in 1 source

We know God accepts us through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, which satisfied His justice and provided righteousness for believers.

The assurance of God's acceptance rests on the successful sacrificial work of Christ, as He fulfilled the requirements laid out in the Old Testament through His death and resurrection. The fact that God accepted Manoah's offering was a precursor to the ultimate acceptance provided through Christ. The fire ascending to heaven without condemnation indicates that God's wrath against sin was appeased. By placing faith in Christ, believers can be assured of their standing before God, as he lovingly accepts them based upon the righteousness of His Son rather than their own merit, echoing Romans 5:1 for justification by faith.
