It encompasses the ideas of approval, favor, and the welcoming of individuals or actions. In the Bible, acceptance is often associated with God's favor towards individuals, the acceptance of offerings, and the acceptance of one another within the community of believers.<br><br><b>Acceptance by God:</b><br>The concept of acceptance by God is central to biblical theology. It is often linked to righteousness, faith, and obedience. In <a href="/genesis/4-7.htm">Genesis 4:7</a>, God speaks to Cain about the acceptance of his offering, saying, "If you do what is right, will you not be accepted?" This highlights the importance of righteousness in gaining God's favor.<br><br>In the New Testament, acceptance by God is closely tied to faith in Jesus Christ. <a href="/ephesians/1-6.htm">Ephesians 1:6</a> states, "to the praise of His glorious grace, which He has freely given us in the Beloved." This verse emphasizes that believers are accepted by God through the grace given in Christ.<br><br><b>Acceptance of Offerings:</b><br>The acceptance of offerings is a recurring theme in the Old Testament. Offerings were a means for individuals to express worship and seek favor from God. <a href="/leviticus/22-21.htm">Leviticus 22:21</a> instructs, "When a man presents a peace offering to the LORD to fulfill a vow or as a freewill offering from the herd or flock, it must be without blemish to be acceptable; there must be no defect in it." This underscores the requirement for offerings to be pure and sincere to be accepted by God.<br><br><b>Acceptance of Others:</b><br>The Bible also addresses the acceptance of others within the community of believers. <a href="/romans/15-7.htm">Romans 15:7</a> encourages, "Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring glory to God." This verse calls for mutual acceptance among believers, reflecting the acceptance they have received from Christ.<br><br>In the early church, acceptance of Gentile believers was a significant issue. <a href="/acts/10-34.htm">Acts 10:34-35</a> records Peter's realization: "I now truly understand that God does not show favoritism, but welcomes those from every nation who fear Him and do what is right." This marked a pivotal moment in the early church's understanding of God's acceptance of all people, regardless of ethnic background.<br><br><b>Acceptance and Forgiveness:</b><br>Acceptance is often linked with forgiveness in the Bible. <a href="/colossians/3-13.htm">Colossians 3:13</a> advises, "Bear with one another and forgive any complaint you may have against someone else. Forgive as the Lord forgave you." This passage highlights the importance of forgiveness in fostering acceptance and unity within the Christian community.<br><br><b>Acceptance and Love:</b><br>Love is a foundational element of acceptance in the biblical narrative. 1 <a href="/john/4-19.htm">John 4:19</a> states, "We love because He first loved us." The acceptance believers receive from God is rooted in His love, and this love is to be mirrored in their acceptance of others.<br><br><b>Conclusion:</b><br>The biblical concept of acceptance is multifaceted, encompassing God's acceptance of individuals through faith and righteousness, the acceptance of offerings, and the mutual acceptance of believers within the community. It is deeply intertwined with themes of love, forgiveness, and grace, reflecting the character of God and the transformative power of the gospel.<a name="top" id="top"></a><div class="vheading2">Topical Bible Verses</div><span class="rtext"><a href="/galatians/3-28.htm">Galatians 3:28</a></span><br>There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for you are all one in Christ Jesus.<br><span class="source">Topicalbible.org</span><p><a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.

It pictures God's delight in His redeemed people in the Messianic era, when their gifts, in joyful and profuse abundance, "shall come up with acceptance on mine altar." With "accepted" and other kindred words it implies redeeming grace as the basis of Divine favor. It is the "living, holy sacrifice" that is "acceptable to God" (<a href="/romans/12-1.htm">Romans 12:1</a>; compare <a href="/titus/3-4.htm">Titus 3:4-6</a>).<p><a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/594.htm"><span class="l">594. apodoche -- <b>acceptance</b>, approval</span></a> <br><b>...</b> <b>acceptance</b>, approval.
