God views Christians in Christ with complete acceptance and favor.
When God looks at those who are in Christ, He sees them as fully accepted and righteous due to their union with His Son. 1 Corinthians 1:30 explains that Christ has become for us wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption, meaning all that Christians need for acceptance is found in Him. Therefore, God is pleased with Christians because they are viewed through the lens of Christ’s accomplished work, not their failures or weaknesses. This assurance provides believers with confidence in their relationship with God, as nothing can separate them from His love, which is in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:39).
