How do we know we are accepted by God?

Acceptance by God is not based on personal righteousness but on the completed work of Jesus Christ. In Hebrews 10:10, we learn that we are sanctified through the offering of Christ's body once for all. This unique sacrifice permanently reconciles us with God, and our faith in Christ serves as the assurance of our acceptance. The transformation which occurs when one is born again leads to a new identity as 'holy brethren'. Thus, the evidence of this acceptance is rooted in faith alone, resting entirely in the sufficiency of Christ's atonement.
