Acceptance
SGHolland 2018 I love the concept of "accepted in the Beloved." This is a little gem out of many in the Bible. Ephesians 1:5-7 New King James Version (NKJV) 5 having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, 6 to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which…
