We Are Accepted In Christ

"To the praise of the glory of His grace, wherein He hath made us accepted in the beloved." Ephesians 1:6

God hath made us accepted in Christ and since He has, it brings praises to the glory of our Fathers grace! Through the power of Christ we are a Church without spot, without wrinkle, and without blemish. “That He might present it to Himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.” Ephesians 5:27 We have been made glorious in our oneness with Christ. The Spirit of God that raised Jesus from the dead has now quickened our mortal bodies and our flesh, and all of the evils that were associated with it have been destroyed. “Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.” Romans 6:6 Yet even though our old man has been destroyed, we still live, and live abundantly, full of faith, hope, and most of all full of love. We now live in the love and posses the love that God has for Jesus. We live in the love of God that covers a multitude of sins, the love that allows the Gifts of the Spirit to flow through our lives, the perfect love of God that casts out all fear! A-men, we now live in God’s love! “And I have declared unto them Thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith Thou hast loved Me may be in them, and I in them.” John 17:26 Hallelujah, we live continually united and one with the love that God has for His Son Jesus. Through Christ we are accepted and it brings praise to the grace of our Father!
