The Lord thy God accept thee.
[II Sam.24:23]
Wherewith shall I come before the Lord, and bow myself before the high God? shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves of a year old? Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousands of rivers of oil? shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?
[Mic.6:6-8]
We are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags. ■ There is none righteous, no, not one. For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; being justified freely by his grace through the redempion that is in Christ Jesus: whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood. To declare ... at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
[Isa.64:6 | Rom.3:10,23-26]
Accepted in the Beloved. ■ Ye are complete in him.
[Eph.1:6 | Col.2:10]
