“God Accepts You As You Are” — Is That Actually Biblical?

Описание: “God Accepts You As You Are” — Is That Actually Biblical?

There’s a popular idea in modern Christianity that says: “God accepts you as you are. You’re fine the way you are.”
But when I read Scripture, I don’t see that message.

In this video, I talk about why Christianity is not about self-affirmation or embracing our flesh—but about repentance, denying ourselves, and being transformed by Jesus Christ. The Bible consistently calls us to turn from sin, not justify it.

This isn’t meant to be harsh or condemning. It’s actually meant to be hopeful. We are not okay on our own — and that’s exactly why we need a Savior. Christ doesn’t leave us where we are; He changes us.

If you disagree and have Scripture to back it up, I genuinely want to hear it. Let’s talk in the comments.
