Blessed is every one that feareth the LORD; that walketh in his ways. (Psalm 128:1)
Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God. (Romans 15:7)
Faustino de Jesús Zamora Vargas

Full life - Accepted in Christ

The first blessing from God after being saved is being accepted in Christ through faith, not good works. Our works are a consequence of faith and the Spirit we receive in the new birth. We cannot earn God's acceptance, it is granted by his grace and love in Jesus Christ. The world accepts us for what we do, but Christ accepts us as we are and transforms us through his love. We are accepted in Christ, not by our own efforts, but by what he suffered on the cross for us. We should be grateful and live the gospel to share the love of Christ. Read more...
