Many Christians work hard to get God to love them. Now, if you're one of those, I want to tell you something: He has already accepted you so quit working at it. Now, listen, the key to all of this is that little phrase, in Christ, mentioned in Ephesians, chapter one.
If you are a child of God, then you are in Christ. Where is Christ? He's seated in the heavenlies. Where are you? Ephesians 2:6 says that God "raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus." You are seated in the heavenlies.
When you understand who you are in Christ, you'll have a good self-image. Indeed, you'll know the truth and the truth will set you free.
