Am I loved?
Am I accepted?

“Good old Peter. Sometimes the only time he opened his mouth was to change feet!”
R. Kent Hughes
- John 13:9-11
“The moment a sinner, drawn by the Holy Spirit, comes to Christ, he is completely and finally cleansed. It is the apprehension of this which gives a firm rock for my feet to rest upon. It assures me that my hope is a stable one; that my standing before God is immutable. It banishes doubt and uncertainty. It gives the heart and mind abiding peace to know that the benefits I have found in Christ are never to be recalled. I am brought out from under condemnation and placed in a state of everlasting acceptance…. I stand resplendent in the sight of God in all the Savior’s beauty and perfections. God looks upon believers not merely as forgiven, but as righteous: as truly as Christ was “made sin” for us, so we have been “made the righteousness of God in him.”
A.W. Pink
