Bible Question: What is the meaning of "accept Jesus" mean? Where is Scripture are we told to "accept Jesus"? |
Bible Answer: Should we not, as Bible-believing Christians, be using Biblical terminology to discuss and describe Biblical truth, even in everyday conversation? Note also that the term "accept Christ" is used not only in everyday conversation among laymen, but also from the pulpit, where qualified preachers are supposed to be rightly dividing the Word of Truth. It is important to impart Biblical truth using Biblical words. Since Christ Himself, as well as the men writing under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, used the words "believe" and "receive", who are we to substitute the word "accept"? Surely believe and receive are not obscure, obsolete, archaic Middle English words that are no longer used or understood today, are they? A search in the King James Version of the Bible will show only ONE occurence of the word "accept" in the entire N.T. Ac 24:3 (KJV) We accept it always, and in all places, most noble Felix, with all thankfulness. |
