How do we know we are accepted by God as believers?

Answered in 1 source

Believers are accepted by God solely through their union with Christ, who took away all their sin at Calvary.

The acceptance of believers before God is grounded in the work of Christ. Just as the bridegroom in the Song of Solomon views his bride as beautiful without any blemish, God views His people through the lens of Christ's redemptive work. Romans 5:1 tells us that being justified by faith, we have peace with God. It is by the grace of God and through the blood of Christ that believers are accepted, having their sins washed away. Therefore, the assurance of acceptance is not based on personal merit but solely on Christ's righteousness imputed to them.
