Dearly Beloved

You are the beloved of God and beloved by the Lord Jesus Christ, you are dearly beloved, so listen to them and think of yourself as they think of you.

Jesus Christ was God’s beloved Son, and God says that He made us accepted in the Beloved. “Accepted” is charitoo in the Greek and is translated highly favored the only other place it is used in God’s Word. God highly favored us in the Beloved, His Son Jesus Christ. I’ll say; He blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realm in Christ.

God, our Father chose us in Christ. In him, we are holy and without blame before Him. In love, He planned for us to have sonship through Jesus Christ according to the good pleasure of His will. In Christ, we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace, which He abounded to us.

Our Father saved us by Christ and his accomplishments, and He sealed us with the holy spirit of promise, which is a down payment of our inheritance until Christ returns to redeem us! I’d say we are pretty beloved and highly favored.

We are so highly favored and dearly beloved by our Father that nothing can separate us from His love for us! Nothing!! You will never be alone again, and God will never forsake you! He is at hand to deliver you, not afar off! He is near!

I pray that God, our Father, will enlighten the eyes of your understanding so you realize how highly favored and dearly beloved you are in Christ. Read Ephesians 1-3 for yourself and believe it; it’s the truth.

Walk, witness, pray, study, minister, teach, serve, love, give and live as the Father’s dearly beloved and highly favored ones that you are in Christ. He will not withhold anything good from you; He will freely give us all things with Christ, beloved.

Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it does not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that when he [Christ] shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is! That’s pretty beloved and highly favored, isn’t it?

We are God’s beloved children today and it will take Him the ages to come to show us the exceeding riches of His grace, in kindness to us in Christ.

Beloved, let the word regarding Christ dwell in you richly! It’s the truth, dearly beloved.
