Grace and peace to each and everyone in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!

We have been learning from the letter to the Ephesians

Ephesians 1:4-7 talks about:
Being Chosen
Adopted
Accepted
Redeemed

We have so far studied about we have been chosen before the foundations of the world
We have been adopted into the family of Christ

Today we will learn that we have been accepted
Ephesians 1:5- 6
He predestined us to be adopted through Jesus Christ for Himself, according to His favor and will, to the praise of His glorious grace that He accepted us in the Beloved.

He chose us before the foundation of the world to live a holy and blameless life.
He adopted us in Christ as per His will.

Now we see that He accepted us in Christ or His beloved for His praise and glorious grace.

As a believer we are forgetting why we are called for.

God has accepted us.
Though people might reject us but God cares for us and accepts us

Psalm 27:10
Even if my father and mother abandon me,
the Lord cares for me.

Psalm 34:17-20
17 The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears,
and delivers them from all their troubles.
18 The Lord is near the brokenhearted;
He saves those crushed in spirit.
19 Many adversities come to the one who is righteous,
but the Lord delivers him from them all.
20 He protects all his bones;
not one of them is broken.

Psalm 94:14
For the Lord will not forsake his people; he will not abandon his heritage.

God has accepted to the praise of the glory of His grace.
Grace is God's voluntary and loving favor to those He saves.
