Accepted

“Accepted in the beloved”(Ephesians 1:6).

“Accepted of Him” (2 Corinthians 5:9).

The grace of God and the work of Christ have made us accepted in Him — God’s beloved Son. What a wonderful standing we have! God sees us in all the perfection of Christ, because, “He hath made Him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him” (2 Corinthians 5:21). Nothing can ever change that! It is all secure in Him.

However, to be “accepted ofHim” is a very practical matter and deserves our day-to-day attention and consideration. Do you, like the Apostle Paul, have a genuine exercise each day of your Christian life to live in a way that has the Lord’s approval and acceptance? If you really love the Lord and appreciate what He has done for you, it will make you want to please Him more. Paul was misunderstood, even by fellow-believers at Corinth. They questioned his apostleship, his ministry, and even his ability to present his ministry. However, he had the assurance in his own conscience that he had the Lord’s acceptance, and isn’t that what we really want?
