AB - Acceptance has been associated with pain and suffering by promoting clients' positive adjustment in counseling. Existential perspective on acceptance encourages a human being becomes a responsible being; therefore, human beings need to face the contradictory nature of condition with courage, in order to live an authentic life. Current study presents the comparative perspective on acceptance, mainly focusing on existentialism and covenant theology. The authors re-define the existential approach of acceptance is to face the restricted human conditions and nature as it is. In this context, existential approach of accpetence can be called ‘the acceptance of facing’. In addition, the covenantal acceptance is considered 'the acceptance of surrendering', which emphasizes the voluntary attitude to leave one's life to God's divine authority. In order for Christians to deal with life pain and suffering, it is the authors' suggestion to apply covenantal acceptance that involves both God's grace and human courage. The nature of Christian existence is who participates God’s redemptive history, a grand narrative human beings place in. In this study, the authors also expand the convenantal accptance to 'the acceptance of participation'. This result will contribute to counselors in helping Christian clients to walk through the process of accepting God's divine authority and self-affirmation.
