It can denote God's acceptance of individuals, offerings, or prayers, as well as human acceptance of God's will, commandments, or other people.<br><br><b>Old Testament References:</b> <br>In the Old Testament, the concept of acceptance is often linked to offerings and sacrifices. For instance, in <a href="/genesis/4-7.htm">Genesis 4:7</a>, God speaks to Cain about the acceptance of his offering: "If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you refuse to do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires you, but you must master it." This highlights the conditional nature of acceptance based on righteousness.<br><br>Leviticus frequently addresses the acceptance of offerings. <a href="/leviticus/22-21.htm">Leviticus 22:21</a> states, "When anyone presents a fellowship 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." Here, the physical perfection of the offering is necessary for it to be accepted by God.<br><br><b>New Testament References:</b> <br>In the New Testament, acceptance takes on a more relational and spiritual dimension. <a href="/romans/15-7.htm">Romans 15:7</a> encourages believers to accept one another: "Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring glory to God." This reflects the call for mutual acceptance among Christians, modeled after Christ's acceptance of humanity.<br><br><a href="/ephesians/1-6.htm">Ephesians 1:6</a> speaks of God's grace and acceptance: "to the praise of His glorious grace, which He has freely given us in the Beloved One." This verse emphasizes that believers are accepted by God through His grace, bestowed in Christ.<br><br><b>Theological Implications:</b> <br>Theologically, acceptance is closely tied to the concepts of grace, righteousness, and community. God's acceptance of individuals is often depicted as an act of grace, not based on human merit but on divine love and mercy. Human acceptance of others is encouraged as a reflection of God's acceptance, fostering unity and love within the community of believers.<br><br><b>Practical Applications:</b> <br>Believers are called to live in a manner that is acceptable to God, as seen in <a href="/romans/12.htm">Romans 12:1</a>: "Therefore I urge you, brothers, on account of God&#8217;s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God, which is your spiritual service of worship." This involves living a life of holiness and dedication to God's will.<br><br>Additionally, Christians are encouraged to accept one another, overcoming differences and fostering a spirit of unity and love, as highlighted in the teachings of the New Testament.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.

(<a href="/1_timothy/1-15.htm">1 Timothy 1:15</a>; <a href="/1_timothy/4-9.htm">1 Timothy 4:9</a>).<br><br>These words are full of the abundant grace of God and are rich in comfort to believers. That which makes man, in word, work and character, acceptable to God; and renders It possible for God to accept him, his service and sacrifice, is the fullness of the Divine mercy and grace and forgiveness. He "chose us" and made us, as adopted sons, the heirs of His grace "which he freely bestowed on us in the Beloved" (<a href="/ephesians/1-6.htm">Ephesians 1:6</a>; compare the King James Version).<br><br>Dwight M.
