He Has Made Us Accepted

Accepted means:

• be highly favoured
• make accepted

Interestingly the word is only used twice in the New Testament. The other verse it is used is referring to Mary. This shows what an honor it is to be accepted in the beloved.

Luk 1:28 – And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.

How Does Being Accepted in the Beloved Impact Our Future in Heaven?

Being accepted in the beloved impacts our future in heaven in ways that are beyond our understanding. The Bible offers insight into the beautiful and eternal things to know about heaven, including the joy of being in God’s presence and the absence of pain and sorrow.
