My Son Accepted Jesus

Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins (1 John 4:10).

Not long ago a proud father told me that his son, who was twelve years old, had “accepted Jesus.” The emphasis of this man’s statement was what his son had done. He had “accepted Jesus.” It was clear from his excitement that his son had done something to make him very proud. But 1 John 4:10 clearly shows us and tells us the definition of eternal love. “Herein is love.” Here is the Gospel definition. NOT THAT WE LOVED GOD, BUT THAT HE LOVED US, AND SENT HIS SON TO BE THE PROPITIATION FOR OUR SINS.

I know in some sense of the word, we receive the good news of the gospel. But we receive Christ because he FIRST received us (Rom. 15:7). I know that there was an acceptance (bowing) to the truth in the gospel by us, but it is because he FIRST made us accepted in the beloved (Eph 1:6).

The emphasis in false preaching is always put on “I” accepted and “I” received or “I” decided and “I” came. My salvation involves an acceptance and a receiving alright, but it is God’s acceptance and receiving of me. Did I accept Jesus? No, Christ accepted me. Did I seek Jesus? No, He sought me out! Did I love God? No, God FIRST loved me! Our Great and Sovereign God is the FIRST cause of EVERYTHING, especially the salvation of His people, His Elect, His chosen!
