Quotes about Beloved
Loved Then he calls us loved. "God's chosen ones, holy and beloved." If you are a believer in Christ, God, the maker of the universe, chose you, set you apart for himself, and loves you. He is for you and not against you. "God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us" (Rom. 5:8).
- John Piper
Christ's death proves God's great love for man. It is our pledge of salvation. To remove the cross from the Christian would be like blotting the sun from the sky. The cross brings us near to God, reconciling us to Him. With the relenting compassion of a father's love, Jehovah looks upon the suffering that His Son endured in order to save the race from eternal death, and accepts us in the Beloved.
- Ellen White
My beloved brethren, why do you not rise together with me against the malignants? Why do you not stand up with me to oppose those who work iniquity? Do you not know how that God will scatter the bones of those who strive to oppress Him? They shall be confounded, because the Lord hath despised them.
- Thomas Becket

If you trust that My plans are to prosper you and not to harm you, you can relax and enjoy the present moment.

- Charles Spurgeon
No sacrifice which a lover would make for his beloved is too great for us to make for our enemy.
- Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Every visionary was laughed at before they were revered. Every genius was attacked before they were beloved. Every leader was misunderstood before they were celebrated.
- Robin Sharma
Self-rejection is the greatest enemy of the spiritual life because it contradicts the sacred voice that calls us the Beloved.
