He is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend. Song of Solomon 5:16

This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Matthew 3:17

He hath made us accepted in the beloved. Ephesians 1:6

 

It is easy to understand how the Father was well pleased with His Beloved Son. But the miracle of grace is that we have been accepted in the Beloved and now call Him our Beloved. Can it be, that all the moral perfections that the Father sees in His Son are seen in us? “In the Beloved” is a place of eternal security. It is a place of rejoicing and communion. May we draw near in communion today, offering worship to Him who has brought us to this place. —Milton Haack

Accepted in the Well-beloved, and clothed in righteousness divine,
I see the bar to heaven removed; and all Thy merits, Lord, are mine.—Charles Wesley
