What does the Bible say about being accepted by God?

Answered in 10 sources

The Bible teaches that we are accepted by God in Christ, meaning our standing before Him is based on Jesus' righteousness rather than our own.

The Bible clearly states that our acceptance before God is not built on our efforts or righteousness but solely on our connection to Jesus Christ. Ephesians 1:6 declares that we are 'accepted in the beloved,' signifying that our relationship with God is mediated through Christ. From eternity, God has chosen to accept us based on Christ's righteousness, reconciling all sinners who believe in Him.
