How do we know that God delights in His people?

The affirmation of God's delight in His people can be found throughout Scripture, with Isaiah 62:4 explicitly stating, 'For the Lord delighteth in thee.' This conveys that God’s relationship with His people is filled with joy and satisfaction. The Scriptures describe believers as precious jewels, unique creations of God who are in covenant with Him. Romans 8:28-30 further illustrates this, where it speaks of God working all things for the good of those who love Him, providing a clear assurance of His delight and commitment to His elect.
