always accepted, not rejected

I don't read very many books, but I'm reading one now and really like this:

"In one sense, God is a "tasteless friend." Seemingly He is endlessly tolerant about those who come to Him for help and endlessly patient in waiting for those others to recognize the need of His help. But He has a solid foundation to do just that. His Son died for each person so as to deal with the issue of wrongdoing; the Spirit of God washed every one who has come to Christ; God the Father has set apart for Himself all who trusted His Son as children under His constant care, and finally each and every child of God has been justified with God's righteousness which means they are infinitely accepted and never rejected." -David Eckman, Sex Food & God p. 53
