The Bible teaches that God's love and acceptance are available to all people, regardless of their background or circumstances. In Romans, we read that confessing Jesus as Lord and believing in His resurrection leads to salvation and acceptance by God. The Gospel of John emphasizes God's love for the world, as seen in the gift of His Son, and Jesus' own words in John 14 encourage believers to trust in His care. Through faith in Christ, as Acts and Romans attest, believers can experience the assurance of God's acceptance and the intercession of Jesus on their behalf, leading to a deep sense of peace and security.

that if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with your heart you believe and are justified, and with your mouth you confess and are saved. It is just as the Scripture says: “Anyone who believes in Him will never be put to shame.” For there is no difference between Jew and Greek: The same Lord is Lord of all, and gives richly to all who call on Him, for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.
They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved, you and your household.”
Who is there to condemn us? For Christ Jesus, who died, and more than that was raised to life, is at the right hand of God—and He is interceding for us.
The Lord is not slow in keeping His promise as some understand slowness, but is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish but everyone to come to repentance.
For it is by grace you have been saved through faith, and this not from yourselves; it is the gift of God, not by works, so that no one can boast.
“I am the true vine, and My Father is the keeper of the vineyard. He cuts off every branch in Me that bears no fruit, and every branch that does bear fruit, He prunes to make it even more fruitful. You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. Remain in Me, and I will remain in you. Just as no branch can bear fruit by itself unless it remains in the vine, neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in Me. I am the vine and you are the branches. The one who remains in Me, and I in him, will bear much fruit. For apart from Me you can do nothing. If anyone does not remain in Me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and withers. Such branches are gathered up, thrown into the fire, and burned. If you remain in Me and My words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.
And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Advocate to be with you forever—
Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring glory to God.
And I have made Your name known to them and will continue to make it known, so that the love You have for Me may be in them, and I in them.”
For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,
I am not asking that You take them out of the world, but that You keep them from the evil one.
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
I ask on their behalf. I do not ask on behalf of the world, but on behalf of those You have given Me; for they are Yours.
I will no longer be in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to You. Holy Father, protect them by Your name, the name You gave Me, so that they may be one as We are one.
