Ephesians 1:6 (Nkjv) to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved,
God wants us to know beyond a shadow of a doubt today that He has approved and accepted us. We know it's not because of our performance but because of Jesus.
We may be tempted to think God doesn't approve of us if we've not been doing very well, or think we're not doing enough. Sometimes the enemy accuses us of things and they may even be true but they've been covered by the enormous grace of God in Jesus. The blood of Jesus cleanses us of all our unrighteousness. I thank God for that.
Romans 3:22/25 (GW) Everyone who believes has God's approval through faith in Jesus Christ....God showed that Christ is the throne of mercy where God's approval is given through faith in Christ's blood....
God no longer sees us as guilty sinners but as Redeemed by the blood of His own Son and Righteous in Him. How wonderful that is!😊
We may look for approval from family and friends and it's nice when we have that but they don't always understand us! So even when we don't have their approval we can be secure in the knowledge that God has already approved of us. We have our confidence in Him regardless of how others may see us. I hope that helps somebody.😊
So as we go out into our new week we can have a smile on our faces as we remember we have God's approval and His acceptance, His love is enfolding us wherever we go, and His favour surrounds us like a shield. We thank You Lord and give You all the glory.
Have a blessed, amazing week 'In Him'!😊
