If I try to be a good person, won’t God accept me, even if I don’t believe?
That is the wrong question: God has already accepted you. The question is: will you accept him?
God has reconciled himself to you. What does that mean? It means no matter what you have done, God isn’t counting it against you. He isn’t remembering it.

For he said, “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.” Matthew 5:17 (ESV) Therefore it says: “It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption. Therefore, as it is written: “Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord.” 1 Corinthians 1:30–31 (NIV) Our righteousness and holiness are to be found in Jesus alone; and in his labors that fulfilled the law we can find our rest. That is why it says of Jesus, “For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken of another day later on. So then, there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God, for whoever has entered God’s rest has also rested from his works as God did from his. “Let us therefore strive to enter that rest, so that no one may fall by the same sort of disobedience.” Hebrews 4:8–11 (ESV) In other words, if you want a true Sabbath rest, … Read more
