God's love for His people is affirmed in scripture, especially in Isaiah, where He calls them precious and honorable.
Isaiah 43 articulates God's unwavering love for His chosen people, underscoring that they are precious in His sight and held in honor. This notion of value is not based on the inherent worth of the people themselves but on God's sovereign choice and redemptive purpose for them. His sacrificial love is primarily demonstrated through Christ’s work on the cross, where He laid down His life for His sheep. Furthermore, the message that God loves His people is consistent throughout scripture, where His love remains steadfast despite their failings, showcasing the grace that characterizes His dealings with the elect.
