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 your sins. Jesus is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world (John 1:29). At the cross, Jesus died for your sins. 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 our sins and accounts us righteous in Christ alone (2 Corinthians 5:21). Believing on the Lord Jesus Christ, you receive the righteousness of God. That's why you can sing, "My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus blood and righteousness."
God accepts you in Christ, though you 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 with love divine. His love for us 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 sins (1 John 1:7). His resurrection gives believers 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).
