Hello and welcome to Living Supernaturally. We hope you have been enjoying your time in the word daily and there is nothing like the presence of God and the word of God to take us into all truth and truth sets us free. We’ve been studying about the great exchange that the Lord Jesus has to offer on the cross. This is not like some exchange offer where you trade in something old and you get something and you are not satisfied with it. This is something of eternal value and has value here on earth and also for all eternity. Today, we are looking at this great exchange offer in Christ through the cross that we have been accepted. So, there is acceptance that is given to us as a free gift in place of rejection. We see that this is offered to us and we can only receive it by grace through faith. We will look at Ephesians chapter 1, verse 4, it says, ‘just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love.’ Verse 6 says, ‘to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved.’ There could be reasons for rejections like lack of experience, lack of education, lack of finances, lack of qualification maybe and for all these reasons we could be rejected in various environments and by various people. When we come to God, the bible says, yes, we were all under sin, we had fallen short of the glory of God, rejected and destined for an eternity away from God but because of the cross and the grace that was and is being extended to us, we have been accepted. Today, as a believer, maybe you have fallen short of the glory of God, stumbled, slipped, back slidden and saying I am rejected but take heart because He has chosen you for a greater purpose and a greater destiny and we are accepted in the beloved today. The thing to do is to get back to Him, to the source of life, who is offering this acceptance in place of rejection. We might be battling with rejection in our minds and doing some things to feel accepted. Overextending ourselves to be accepted by people and maybe we are doing the same thing with God, saying God, I will do this, I will punish myself, beat myself up and hopefully I will be accepted by you. But the Lord is saying, no, this acceptance by Him is by grace which means we cannot earn it with our good performance or righteous living but it is by grace which means we receive it through faith and gratefully. Today, let’s pray and just receive this grace into our lives and walk with our head held high because He has accepted us. Let’s pray, Father, we thank you for the gift of righteousness and this great exchange that in place of rejection we have received acceptance and we have been accepted by the Most High God so the opinion of man doesn’t matter. We pray that we will put all the lies of the enemy, thoughts of rejection aside and walk with our head held high because we have been accepted by the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords, in Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
