ACCEPTED IN THE BELOVED

          Let me share with you a beautiful event that took place about 2000 years ago which still speaks till today. On one beautiful day, a man by name John the baptist was baptizing at a river called the River Jordan; then suddenly a man named Jesus appeared on scene.
          Something remarkable happened on that day. The bible records that Jesus was baptized by John the baptist; then as soon as Jesus lifted up his head out of the water, it was said that the heavens opened and the spirit of the lord came down upon him like a dove. Follow this closely, then a voice was heard which said," This is my BELOVED SON IN WHOM I AM WELL PLEASED". This is a humbling statement.
          Think about this, you go out with your father to an occasion and he introduces you to his work associates saying," This is my beloved son in whom i am well pleased". My God! It means all your actions are accepted. God is so pleased with you. Just ask yourself this question, are you qualified? Okay you may say that was Jesus, let me take you over to Ephesians 1:6,

to the praise of  the glory of his grace, by which he made us 

ACCEPTED IN THE BELOVED.

          You are not a nobody, you are accepted in the beloved. The only requirement needed is being IN CHRIST, being born again. Once you are there, you are accepted. Oh! How i pray you grasp this truth. God loves you more than you love yourself. Boldly declare this daily 

      I _______________________, by reason of Christ death on the cross for me and by reason of his resurrection power is accepted in the beloved.Glory!

NEXT UPDATE: THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A SINNER AND A SAINT
