You Are Accepted

Have you ever been anywhere that you didn't feel accepted? That can be a painful experience. Rejection from others can cause emotional wounds that don't go away. On the contrary, the good news is that God accepts you in Christ. He has made a way for all to be accepted through his Son Jesus.

Christ is sufficient to make you completely acceptable to God. He died for your sins. He gives you his righteousness. He offers you the unconditional love of God. His power changes your life. He gives you love, hope, joy, and peace. He even gives you faith to trust him.

Jesus is for all nations and ethnic groups. He is for you. Trusting Christ brings total acceptance with God. He will never reject you in Christ. God is well pleased with his Son. And, you are well pleasing to God in Christ alone.

"Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you,
in order to bring praise to God."

Romans 15:7, NIV

"Therefore, there is now no condemnation
for those who are in Christ Jesus."

Romans 8:1, NIV
