"wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved." - Ephesians 1:6bWords change meaning. Today, we accept a lot of things we are not pleased with, simply because we must.
This is NOT what the Bible means! The original Greek word used by the Bible actually means "highly favored", "charming", "circled with favor".
What's more, with its precise word form and endings the Greek word, here, tells us an additional nuance. Ours was not a onetime time acceptance but ongoing! We are currently living in the high favor of God by being in the one whom He loved, our savior, Jesus, the Christ.
