Good quote.

I love Spurgeon. I have visited the bookstore at the Metropolitan Tabernable, London, England, the building where C H Cpurgeon used to preach for many years.

Blessings.

“Accepted in the beloved.”
— Ephesians 1:6

What a state of privilege! It includes our justification before God, but the term “acceptance” in the Greek means more than that. It signifies that we are the objects of divine complacence, nay, even of divine delight. How marvellous that we, worms, mortals, sinners, should be the objects of divine love! But it is only “in the beloved.”

Some Christians seem to be accepted in their own experience, at least, that is their apprehension. When their spirit is lively, and their hopes bright, they think God accepts them, for they feel so high, so heavenly-minded, so drawn above the earth!

But when their souls cleave to the dust, they are the victims of the fear that they are no longer accepted. If they could but see that all their high joys do not exalt them, and all their low despondencies do not really depress them in their Father’s sight, but that they stand accepted in One who never alters, in One who is always the beloved of God, always perfect, always without spot or wrinkle, or any such thing, how much happier they would be, and how much more they would honour the Saviour!

Rejoice then, believer, in this: thou art accepted “in the beloved.” Thou lookest within, and thou sayest, “There is nothing acceptable here!” But look at Christ, and see if there is not everything acceptable there. Thy sins trouble thee; but God has cast thy sins behind his back, and thou art accepted in the Righteous One. Thou hast to fight with corruption, and to wrestle with temptation, but thou art already accepted in him who has overcome the powers of evil.

The devil tempts thee; be of good cheer, he cannot destroy thee, for thou art accepted in him who has broken Satan’s head. Know by full assurance thy glorious standing. Even glorified souls are not more accepted than thou art. They are only accepted in heaven “in the beloved,” and thou art even now accepted in Christ after the same manner.

"Now, if you pray in one way with your lips and in another way with your lives, your lives will win the day and your children will rather be like what you are than what you ask for them to be."

this is true ..it is a great tragedy that too few believe it any more .they prefer to say -im saved by grace so it doesnt matter if i continue in it ..-
dont you know that to whom you yield your members as servants to obey..his servants you are...pp.

we receive not due to ...unbelief. so if we do not believe in our heart that the lord Jesus is able to fully free us from gross repetitive sin .. the reason we arent yet free (if thats the case) is a- .. we dont want to be free..or b -we pray in unbelief.

i was a chain smoker.. jesus set me free,a meth user, jesus set me free.A porn addict.. jesus set me free.
i know all to well of his deliverance and of the utter lies we get whispered to us from the enemy to undermine our faith....

start by repenting and asking forgiveness for the sin of unbelief.

"thank God for what grace you have; praise him for that degree of holy confidence whereunto you have attained: walk according to that rule, and you shall yet have more and more of the blessing of God, till your faith shall remove mountains and conquer impossibilities".

Spurgeon, C. H. (2006). Morning and evening: Daily readings
