You Are Accepted

Ephesians 1:6-7 “In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our sins, according to the riches of His grace. To the praise of the glory of His grace wherein you are accepted in the beloved“

Have you tried your best to please God today? No? Good, Jesus never did either. He already knew He was pleasing to God. In Matthew 3:17 God said, “This is My beloved Son in Whom I am well pleased”. This was before He performed one miracle, ministered to the multitude, or went to the cross.

The same is true for every believer in Jesus. The moment we are saved, we are His beloved child, well-pleasing to Him, and accepted. Before we ever do a thing. The meaning of the word accepted in this context is “highly favored”. Not only are we accepted by God, but we are surrounded by His favor. So, read Ephesians 1:6-7 again, but make it personal…In Christ, I have redemption through His blood, I have forgiveness of sin (past, present and future), and by His grace I am accepted, and I am highly favored. Amen.
