The LORD your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing."
The LORD did not set his affection on you and choose you because you were more numerous than other peoples, for you were the fewest of all peoples.But it was because the LORD loved you and kept the oath he swore to your forefathers that he brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you from the land of slavery, from the power of Pharaoh king of Egypt. - We love because he first loved us. - Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of your evil behavior.But now he has reconciled you by Christ's physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation--
This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. - But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
And a voice from heaven said, "This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased." - The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life--only to take it up again. - but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe.The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.
