The Beloved

The Beloved

“To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.” Ephesians 1:6

“For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” 2 Peter 1:17

Jesus Christ is love incarnate. Jesus is the Father’s “Beloved.” God spoke that name over Jesus when John baptized Him. God also spoke that name over Him when Jesus was on the mount of transfiguration. Each time the name “Beloved” was spoken, it was followed by the words, “In whom I am well pleased.”

Loved with everlasting love, Led by grace that love to know; Spirit, breathing from above, Thou hast taught me it is so! Oh, this full and perfect peace! Oh, this transport all divine! In a love which cannot cease, I am His, and He is mine.-G. Wade Robinson

Jesus Christ is the fullest expression of the love of God—

His Righteousness is the character of love;

His Holiness is the beauty of love;

His Omnipotence is the power of love;

His Omnipresence is the nearness of love;

His Omniscience is the mind of love;

His Judgment is the protection of love;

His Grace is the favor of love;

His Goodness is the practice of love;

His Kindness is the attitude of love;

His Care is the tenderness of love;

His Majesty is the glory of love;

His Giving is the expression of love.

His Peace is the rest of love;

His Joy is the celebration of love.
