What does the Bible say about God's acceptance of our works?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible states that God accepts the works of His elect through their union with Christ, as shown in Ecclesiastes 9:7.

According to Ecclesiastes 9:7, God now accepts the works of His chosen people, indicating a relationship rooted in grace rather than human efforts. This acceptance is grounded in their union with Christ Jesus, as they are made wise, righteous, and holy in Him. Ephesians 2:8 emphasizes that salvation comes solely by grace through faith, and not from our own works. Thus, our works are seen as reflections of God’s grace in us and not as a basis for our acceptance.
