Accept Jesus as Savior?
Isn't it God that should accept us and not man accepting God?
Why I always read statement like this, accepting God, if you accept Jesus, have you accepted Jesus as Savior?
Jan: salvation is the will of God not of man. Show me the scriptures that says we have to accept Him to be saved please.
So many good answers,so hard to pick. A lot of you misunderstood my question, I am so sorry ,must be my composition.
I am saved and I believe I was able to understand heavenly things after my spiritual birth(born again). I believe I was chosen,born of the spirit,heared God's call ,(my sheep hear my voice and follow me),Christ died for the saved only,predestined to the image of His son (not actions,my sins), preserved spotless and blameless unto the day of His coming,and I mean in that order.
I believe a person who is spiritually discerned can not accept the things of God and so we must be born again first.
John 1:12But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
v13Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
Salvation is the "Will of God" according to this verse above and not the will of man.

This is good...and some have "read" their Bibles, and understand a few things...some have not? But, for all intensive purposes.. "When one "hears" the Gospel message, and Faith enters their heart, the "Witness of the Spirit let's them Know! and, all they have left to do is"Confess with their mouth the Lord Jesus, and Believe that God raised him from the dead, and they will be saved..0r "Born Again" (Rom;10:9-10) "Diamond!" "Peace!" :)

Why should God accept us? Why should he HAVE to accept us? He created us. What is there to accept? Our sinfulness? You want God to accept sin? Approve of sin and sinning people? Is that what you are saying? Then what do we need saving from? What's the point of eternal life, if it's just going to be like this miserable life for all eternity?
By accepting God, it is meant that we accept his Way of life, the Way that shuns, even abhors sin and does, and delights in doing good. Accepting God and Jesus is believing in them, trusting them, looking to them for the good things of life, fulfillment of life.
Salvation the will of God and not of man??? Are you telling us you do not want to be saved?
A Scripture, you say. How about"
John 3:18 -- He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

God made us. We rejected Him when we disobeyed Him in the Garden by doing what He said not to do. He made a way so that His Holiness and Justice would not be offended if He took us back by sending His Beloved Son to live an obedient life in our place and sacrifice His life for us so that those who accept that sacrifice (and His Son as their Savior and Lord) could once again be accepted by Him and His Holiness and Justice would be satisfied. Does that make it easier to understand?
missmama- jan may not return. In case she doesn't here is a scripture that is the most well known of all and most beloved. Jan knows it by heart. She can tell you others if she returns.
Or, you can PM me. I am a Christian also. I gave my heart to my Lord and Savior 43 years ago.
John 3:16
16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

God will accept you and wants to have a relationship with you.
God cannot sin or have anything to do with it, so He sent Christ to pay the price for sin which is death.
When a Christian says they have accepted Jesus they are saying they accept that He died for there sins, and asked for forgiveness.
God accepts you, not your sin. Jesus can forgive you of them because He already payed the price on your behalf.
God bless:)

Why would God have to accept us for he was the one who made us and knew us before we were born.
It is us who rebel against God and go our own way. We are the sinners that is why Jesus had to died for us he bared all our sin on that cross.
I have accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior Have you ?. He Loved you so much that he died for you so you may have eternal life and be sent you free that you may know the truth

God has already made peace with us through the shed blood of Jesus Christ. 1Tim.2:5-6 states: There is only ONE GOD and ONE MEDIATOR between God and man and that is Jesus Christ who gave himself as a ransom for all. If we do not accept God's Son Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, we reject God.

lol look at this guy forcing his beliefs on other people. maybe you need to accept him but i sure as hell dont. id rather not join a religion that touches small children ill leave that one all to you.... btw god wouldnt be important without people so he should be praying to us.
do you have proof that god made us? i have proof we used to be germs then evolved into monkeys then into neanderthals then so on. id like to see where god is hiding all of his pixie dust and black magic.
because without anybody accepting him then no one could satisfy his child like ego. its all about balance. he needs us not the other way around.
story of the garden adam and eve ate from the tree of knowledge then get kicked out. How would knowledge hurt them. why would god be so fickle to say no you cant get smarter. besides he was tempting them with the tree being right next to them. i guess nobody like reality and would rather live in fairy tale land.
o btw i cant god bless you but i can joe bless you. so azqsx Joe bless you lol

okay, well..
first of all, i don't believe in god.
and even if he did exist, he really should be accepting US.
why would he create people who would end up to be atheists one day?
doesn't make sense.
i feel bad for people who grow up to believe everything they hear about the bible and god and jesus and blahblahblahh..yeah.
no offense to you, of course.
