For you and I, it is ‘just as you are’: “And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, “Abba, Father!” (Galatians 4:6, NKJV). As God’s children, we have been accepted to God’s family, born in the Beloved, never to be rejected, just as we are, because in Christ Jesus, God chose us for Himself before the foundation of the world. You are adopted as God’s beloved child and sealed by His Spirit, the guarantor who guarantees that you’ll live with God forever (Ephesians 1:3-14). That’s the meaning of just as you are!
