What does the Bible say about wellbeing?
Salvation by faith in Christ’s forgiveness for your sins
by his death on the cross and resurrection has been
shown by the Teleios Foundation to improve wellbeing
(see on our website www.teleiosresearch.com).
Ephesians 2:7-9
Romans 3:21-25
Romans 10:9

What is the next step?
However, following your belief in Christ to salvation, it is
also important to realize that as a Christian you are
SECURE in your relationship with God!
Why is this critical?
We cannot grow in our faith and serve others well if we
lack confidence God that accepts us.

The Bible itself makes a great example in Ephesians
5:20-33.
In this fascinating letter the Apostle Paul likens the
relationship between Christ and the church (individual
believers) to marriage.
In the same way a married couple will find it difficult to grow
in their love, intimacy and confidence in each other if they
fear their partner will reject them, so a Christian will find it
next to impossible to grow in the love of God if they fear His
repudiation.

Likewise, our loving God, who made and understands
us, knows we cannot grow in His love without the
confidence that He will not reject us.
Wow, this seems incredible! How can we know
this from Scripture?

There are three basic arguments:
Direct statements. Scripture says it directly in a number of verses:
• 1 Peter 1:3-5
• John 10:27-31
• Romans 8:28-39
Position. Because of our salvation we have unchangeable positions before God.
• We are declared legally innocent (Romans 3:21-25)!
• We are legally adopted as God’s children (Ephesians 1:5).
• We are sealed by the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13-14; 2 Corinthians 5:5).
• We are baptized by the Holy Spirit (Romans 6:2-9)!
Perseverance. God causes us to persevere through our life unto salvation not by our
own stamina:
• 2 Timothy 1:12
• Philippians 1:6
• 1 Thessalonians 5:23

What great promises!
Because of our faith in Christ we are a new person who cannot
be unmade, with legally unchangeable promises that
guarantee our salvation.
This comfort and confidence allows us to invest ourselves in
knowing and serving within a wonderful relationship with
God.
We should not be burdened with guilt and worry over the
status of God’s acceptance of us.
