Made us Accepted in the beloved !

Eph 1:6

6 To the praise of the glory of his grace,wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.


When were the Chosen Eph 1:4 madeaccepted in the Beloved ?

It was whenever they had been Chosen in the Beloved, before the foundation Eph 1:4

4According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:


This is a Spiritual Blessing they have in Christ Jesus, when it was given them in Him before the world began 2 Tim 1:9

9 Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,

Now thats the same Grace which wherein He made us accepted in the beloved.

This happened before time, and before they hear the Gospel of their Salvation Eph 1:11-13

11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:


12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.


13In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,

You see The preceding Vs 6 , being accepted in the Beloved is part of the Gospel Message, the Good News of your Salvation.

Now false teachers and Gospel haters deny this Truth and teach that man has to do something to become accepted with God, like cain was told Gen 4:7

7If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.

So this way of being accepted is the way of cain ! Jude 1:11

Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.

A better translation is, made us high favored in the Beloved. The Beloved is Israel.
 
Did you understand the point made in the post?

It appears that it's trying to prove that Christians were chosen and that they didn't do the choosing. However, the passage has nothing to do with that.
