There are two questions many believers ask. 1. Does God fully accept me? 2. If so, upon what basis does He do so? In this podcast, Mark and John discuss the fact that you are fully accepted in Christ forever. We are not working for acceptance. We live and work from the finished fact that we are already accepted in the Beloved (Eph. 1:6). As John states, understanding your acceptance affects how you see yourself and your relationships. God welcomes us; we are not on probation. You do not need to prove your worth. You're accepted, not disappointing. Ask yourself, where am I still trying to earn what God has already given me? Do I live like I'm accepted or like I'm auditioning?
