You Are Accepted

God has made a way for all to be accepted through his Son Jesus. "Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God" (Romans 15:7, NIV). 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. 

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. "Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus" (Romans 8:1, NIV).

Pray the Word: Lord Jesus, you accepted me to bring praise to God. Thank you for dying on the cross for my sins, giving me your righteousness and unconditional love, as well as setting me free from all condemnation, through your name. Amen.

Do the Word: Share the good news of Jesus with someone today. Tell someone that God forgives all our sins in Christ. Be sure to tell that person how God accepts us in Christ.
