Beloved is the one who is loved dearly and compassionately. Jesus is the beloved Son of God as He is the only begotten of Him (Jn 3:16). God spoke from heaven at Jesus’ baptism and also at his transfiguration,

      “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” Mt 3:17 also see Mk 1:11; Lk 3:22; Mt 17:5; Mk 9:7; Lk 9:35; Mt 12:18.

    God also called every believer as beloved because of His Son Jesus. We were not His people but we have now become the people of the Living God. See Rom 9:25; 11:28; I Pet 2:10

     We are God’s beloved because God loved us with His great love. Eph 2:4.  I Jn 3:1 says,

       “Behold what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God. “

       There is a mention of a “beloved city” in Rev 20:9, which refers to His beloved people who are being saved. O, what a blessed thing it is for us to be called the beloved of God.
