Beloved of the Lord !
Beloved of the Lord !
2 Thess 2:13
But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:
These word " beloved of the Lord " are very Special, they actually mean :
Loved above all others ! To prefer ! Its comparative to what is said to God's Chosen People Israel Deut 7:6-7
6 For thou art an holy people unto the Lord thy God: the Lord thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth.
7 The Lord did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all people:
See how His Love is associated with favoring a Particular above all others and Loving them above all others, This shows that God discriminates with His Love ! The People here also are the Beloved of the Lord . In fact the People here in Deut 7:6-7 and those in 2 Thess 2:13, also Chosen, are the very same People but only they are under the Old Covenant and these under the New Covenant , they are the People God Loved above all others. Those in Deut 7:6-7 like those in 2 Thess 2:13 belong to the Church of Christ or the Body of Christ. Those also in Deut 7:6-7 had to be accepted in the Beloved to be the Chosen Beloved of the Lord Eph 1:4,6
4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.
The Only Way people can be so Special and Loved above others, is if they are accepted in the Beloved Son before the foundation !
