How does the anointing relate to our acceptance with God?

Answered in 1 source

The anointing relates to our acceptance with God by representing the Holy Spirit’s work in making sinners holy and reconciled to Him through Christ.

Acceptance with God hinges on being anointed by the Holy Spirit, who facilitates our reconciliation through the work of Christ. In Exodus 30, the holy anointing oil signifies that only those who are sanctified by the Holy Spirit can be accepted by God in worship and service. This anointing leads believers to understand their acceptance is not based on their works, but solely on the righteousness imparted through Christ. Galatians 4:6 emphasizes that the Spirit assures us of our status as sons and daughters of God, enabling us to approach Him confidently. Thus, the anointing is essential for experiencing full peace and acceptance with God.
