What does the Bible teach about being accepted by God?

Acceptance before God is not based on our merit but solely through Christ’s redemptive work. In the sermon, it is emphasized that without Christ, no man has any acceptance with God; it is only through His righteousness that we are deemed acceptable. Just like how Moses acted as a mediator for Israel to avert God’s anger, Christ stands between us and God, and His sacrifice is what enables our acceptance. This truth should profoundly affect the believer’s life, leading to worship and gratitude for the grace bestowed upon us that allows communion with a holy God.
