God accepts you in His only begotten Son (John 3:16). Our sin is always unacceptable to God. He sent his Son into this world to take away our sin. Jesus is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world (John 1:29). At the cross, Jesus died for your sin. You are accepted by faith in God's beloved Son. He made us accepted in the Beloved (Ephesians 1:6).
God accepts you through the righteousness of Christ. God takes away your sin and counts you righteous in Christ alone (2 Corinthians 5:21). Believing on the Lord Jesus Christ, you receive the righteousness of God. That's when you can sing, "My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus blood and righteousness."
God accepts believers in Christ, though we are not perfect, and never will be in this life. We have all failed God in many different ways. The Bible calls it sin. We can never earn our way into God's favor. His unmerited favor is called grace, and it's always a gift received by faith in Christ. Then you may testify, "by the grace of God I am what I am" (1 Corinthians 15:10).
God accepts you in Christ with love divine. His love for you is personal. God's love for you is reality seen at the cross of Jesus (Romans 5:8). He died for your sins. His sacrifice takes away all your sin (1 John 1:7). His resurrection gives you life abundant and everlasting. God accepts you by faith in Christ (Romans 5:1). God's love for you is forever (Romans 8:38-39).
