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 made accepted 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.
Eph 1:6

False religion deliberately leaves out the fact that those Chosen In Union with Christ before the world began are the only portion of humanity which have always been under God's Grace: He made them accepted in the beloved simply because He Loved them in Christ. And that Eph. 1:4-6 speaks of God's predestination of those He had Chosen, yet false religion ignores those scriptures and jumps to Eph. 1:13 whereby they incorrectly attribute their own trusting, hearing and believing, acts of the flesh they do, as making themselves accepted in God's Sight. But just as Cain, they think they do well and are justified, but the fruit of their own doings is nothing but dead works.

Thank you for this most Excellent and Instructive teaching in the Word of Truth 1 Cor 2:13 which proves beyond doubt, that Believing the Gospel is indeed a work, a doing, a deed!

True indeed!
Faith / Believing can only please God by one who is a New Creation in Christ 2 Cor. 5:17,
because the only Faith that pleases God is the Fruit of the Spirit given in New Birth Gal. 5:22.
The work of faith a natural man does cannot please God Rom. 8:7-8!

Non imputation and imputation!
Non imputation and imputation!
Those whom God does not impute sin unto, He does impute his Sons righteousness unto Rom 4:6-8
6 Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,
7 Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.
This righteousness imputed is not a response to one's Act of Faith or Believing, because it's imputed without works .
It's imputed to them whom God does not impute sin because their sins have been imputed to and covered by Christ.
All this transpired while they were in a state of unbelief and ungodly, so God justifies the ungodly.

Non imputation of sin, and imputation of Christ's Righteousness, was only Made Possible Col. 1:12 for a Particular portion of humanity, the Election of Grace 2 Tim. 1:9, whom Father had chosen In Union with Christ in eternity, to be Holy and Without Blame before Him in Love; to have remission of sins Eph. 1:4-7.
This Reconciled World 2 Cor. 5:19 is truly a Blessed World, because according to God's Law and Justice it was declared Righteous / Justified in their Covenant Head and Surety Christ Jesus Heb. 7:22, 13:20.
So as a result of Christ Shedding His Blood on their behalf Rom. 4:25; Is. 53:6, in time they shall be Born of the Spirit John 3:6-7, and experimentally receive His Fruit of Faith Gal. 5:22 and Believe in Him Gal. 5:22, because they were reconciled to God by His Death even while being enemies and unbelievers.
Rom. 11:32
For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.
Rom. 5:10
For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.

Agreed!
Only Adam and his posterity were made in the Image of God Gen. 1:27, those who were predestined to be conformed to the Image of Christ Rom. 8:29.
But the sons / seed of the serpent were predestined to the lake of fire, the second death, for their names were never written in the Book of Life Rev. 20:14-15; the same ones who shall worship the two beasts in Rev. 13.
