What does the Bible say about being highly favored?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible tells us that being highly favored means being chosen and blessed by God, as seen in the example of Mary, the mother of Jesus.

In the biblical narrative, being highly favored, as demonstrated in the case of Mary, signifies God's special selection and blessing upon an individual. The angel Gabriel emphasized Mary's esteemed position when he said she was 'highly favored' (Luke 1:28), indicating that she was set apart for a divine purpose. This notion of being favored extends to all believers, as it reflects God's grace and election upon those He has chosen before the foundation of the world (Ephesians 1:4-5). Therefore, to be highly favored is to be in a relationship with God through His grace, which originates from His sovereign will to bless and redeem His people.
