Ephesians 1:6

Ephesians 1:6. To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.

Are there four words in any language which contain choicer meaning than these, "Accepted in the Beloved"? Oh! if you can say that, if you can feel it to be true, you are among the happiest of men and women. "Accepted in the Beloved." You can never be accepted apart from Christ, the Father’s best Beloved. But there is merit enough in him to overflow and cover all our sins, and we are accepted in the Beloved.
