📘 Chapter 6 Review – God’s Acceptance
This chapter is like a warm embrace after a long, cold journey through the wilderness of rejection. Derek Prince reminds us that God’s acceptance is not something we earn—it’s something we receive. And this acceptance is not temporary or conditional. It is eternal, unshakable, and based entirely on Jesus, not our performance.
Prince returns to one of the most powerful truths in the New Testament:
“To the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He has made us accepted in the Beloved.” — Ephesians 1:6 (NKJV)
That phrase—"accepted in the Beloved"—landed deep in my spirit. It means that we are not barely tolerated by God. We are cherished. Welcomed. Wanted. Just as Jesus is the Father’s beloved Son, so are we in Him. That changes everything.
What hit me especially hard in this chapter was when Prince explained that God doesn’t merely overlook our past—He replaces it with something better. Our history of rejection is swallowed up in His eternal embrace. We are no longer orphans trying to prove ourselves. We are sons and daughters with a permanent place at His table.
This chapter also teaches us how to abide in God’s acceptance. It’s not just about a one-time emotional experience or a single prayer of deliverance. It’s about walking daily in the truth of who we are in Christ. That’s where real transformation begins—not by trying harder, but by resting deeper in the Father's love.
🔖 Favorite Quote from Chapter 6:
“Once you are accepted in the Beloved, no one—not even you—can change that.” — Derek Prince
This chapter left me in tears—but in the best way. For the first time in a long time, I felt secure. Not because people had changed, or my circumstances had improved, but because God’s love doesn’t change. His acceptance is the safe place my soul had been searching for all along.
