How do we know Jesus is our beloved?

Answered in 4 sources

We recognize Jesus as our beloved through the deep affection of our hearts and His sacrificial love for us (1 Peter 2:7).

Knowing Jesus as our beloved comes from the deep assurance we have in His love. In 1 Peter 2:7, it is stated that to those who believe, Christ is precious. This preciousness stems from His sacrifice, which reconciles us to God and fills our hearts with an overwhelming affection for Him. Just as the bride speaks tenderly of her Beloved in Song of Solomon, believers express their longing and love for Christ. This profound relationship is characterized by trust, reliance, and a sincere desire for His presence. Our acknowledgment of Him as our beloved is not just an emotional response; it is rooted in the truth of the gospel that reveals His unchanging love for us.
