How do we know we are accepted by God?

Answered in 19 sources

We know we are accepted by God through our faith in Christ, who has covered our sins and made us perfect before God.

Reformed theology asserts that acceptance before God is not based on our own righteousness but solely on Christ's finished work. The believer's standing is secured in Christ; as Spurgeon emphasizes, 'Thine acceptance is not in thyself, but in thy Lord.' This acceptance allows believers to approach God without fear, knowing that Christ intercedes on their behalf. Romans 8:31-34 further affirms that no one can bring a charge against God's elect due to the justification granted by Christ's sacrifice, solidifying our position in His grace.
