What does it mean that we are holy and beloved in Christ?

Answered in 1 source

Being holy and beloved means that through Christ's sacrifice, believers are made righteous and accepted by God.

In Colossians 3:12, Paul instructs believers to 'put on, therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved.' This designation signifies that believers are set apart by God for His purposes and cherished as His own children. The term 'holy' reflects our righteousness in Christ, meaning that through His blood, we are cleansed and made right with God. Our beloved status indicates that we are valued and loved by God, confirming our identity as members of His family. This understanding should profoundly impact how we live, prompting us to embody the love, grace, and mercy we have received in our interactions with others.
