What does the Bible say about being acceptable to God?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that believers are accepted by God through Jesus Christ, whose sacrifice and righteousness made them acceptable.

According to 1 Peter 2:5, believers are described as a holy priesthood who offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. This acceptance is solely based on the merits of Christ's finished work on the cross, not on any of our own efforts or goodness. Ephesians 1:6 states that we are accepted in the Beloved, emphasizing that our acceptance by God hinges entirely on our union with Christ, whose righteousness is imputed to us.
