“You Are Accepted By Christ”
You have nothing to prove that Jesus Christ hasn’t already proven.
People everywhere, and society in general, bombard us continually with subtle – and not-so-subtle – messages telling us that we’re not okay. To be in a relationship where you’re loved, just as you are, is to be in a place of safety, and freedom.
The Bible tells us how Jesus accepted even those whom no one else could accept, whom society rejected. Jesus came to show us what the Father is like; that the Father’s love is not a kind of watered-down business deal where it often means “I love you because you’re nice to me.” God’s love for you has no strings attached. The Father’s love is passionately wild and free, relentless in its power, and as endless as eternity itself.
That’s why, just as Jesus accepted the unacceptable, the Bible assures us that he has also accepted you (Romans 15:7). Our acceptance is not based on what we do, but on what he has done. That not only applies to God; it’s also how we should see our relationships with everyone else. You have nothing to prove that Jesus Christ hasn’t already proven.
We tend to relate to God based on what we have learned from our human relationships. Too often our relationships reflect brokenness and loss. What have you learned from your relationships with others that is positive? Negative? Have you learned to trust and feel safe? What can you do to start relating to God differently?
