Ephesians 1:3-6 (KJV)
“3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:
4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, ...
6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.
The Father’s predestined will for us all is to learn transformation. “The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance” (2 Peter 3:9). This is His will for every person on the planet. In His election He has already made a place for us in His will.
Living accepted is the most liberating enabled posture we can take once we receive Jesus as Savior and LORD. The moment we accept Jesus and His love for us is the moment we are adopted and accepted.
This is a faith thing not a fake thing. He does not fake His acceptance and neither should we. We should approach every trial, tribulation, test, suffering, and temptation with acceptance in heart. We are not rejected in our battles, we are accepted and beloved.
“And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day” (John 6:39-40).”
This is the Father’s will for us all – we can live accepted and beloved and know in our knower that He will never leave us nor forsake us. Think accepted, act accepted – Live accepted
