What does the Bible say about Jesus being beloved?

In Matthew 12, Jesus is identified as the beloved servant of God, fulfilling the prophecy of Isaiah. It highlights God's pleasure in His Son, establishing Jesus not only as Messiah but also as the one the Gentiles would trust in. This designation as 'beloved' signifies the deep affection God has for His Son and underlines the importance of recognizing Christ’s role in salvation. At His baptism, God reaffirmed this by declaring, 'This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased' (Luke 3:22), showing how integral Jesus is to the divine mission.
