Jesus was beloved by the Father (Matt 17:5, Mk 1:11, Lk 9:7 & 35)
Every believer is beloved thru Christ
Rom 1:
6 and you also are among those who are called of Jesus Christ to belong to Him;
7 [I am writing] to all who are beloved of God in Rome, called to be saints (God’s people) and set apart for a sanctified life, [that is, set apart for God and His purpose]: Grace to you and peace [inner calm and spiritual well-being] from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ. (Also see 1 Thes 1:4, 2 Thes 2:13)
Eph 1:
6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.
7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
Eph 2:
5 even when we were [spiritually] dead and separated from Him because of our sins, He made us [spiritually] alive together with Christ (for by His grace—His undeserved favor and mercy—you have been saved from God’s judgment).
6 And He raised us up together with Him [when we believed], and seated us with Him in the heavenly places, [because we are] in Christ Jesus,
1 Jn 4:17 In this [union and fellowship with Him], love is completed and perfected with us, so that we may have confidence in the day of judgment [with assurance and boldness to face Him]; because as He is, so are we in this world.
(MY NOTE: Every believer is beloved/made acceptable to the Father by/thru the Beloved Christ. Has been forgiven (past tense/done deal). Made spiritually alive (right now) & is seated with Him. Because as He is, so are we in this world.)
