God explicitly states His love for His people throughout scripture, notably calling them His own and assuring them of His care.
Scripture repeatedly affirms God's intimate love for His people. In Isaiah 40, God instructs His prophet to comfort His people, declaring them as His own. This is echoed in the New Testament, where believers are reminded that they are cherished members of God’s family and that Christ is not ashamed to call them brethren (Hebrews 2:11). The ultimate demonstration of God’s love is found in the sacrificial death of Christ for His people's sins, assuring them of their place in His heart and His care for them through all circumstances.
