You Are Greatly Loved

Among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind. But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ — by grace you have been saved. (Ephesians 2:3–5)

Would you not love to hear the angel Gabriel say to you, "You are greatly loved"?

Three times this happened to Daniel.

  • "At the beginning of your pleas for mercy a word went out, and I have come to tell it to you, for you are greatly loved" (Daniel 9:23)
  • "O Daniel, man greatly loved, understand the words that I speak to you, and stand upright, for now I have been sent to you" (Daniel 10:11)
  • "And he said, 'O man greatly loved, fear not, peace be with you; be strong and of good courage" (Daniel 10:19).

Take heart. If you have faith in Jesus, God himself says to you, "You are greatly loved."

We were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind. But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ . . . For by grace you have been saved through faith. (Ephesians 2:3–5, 8).

This is better than an angel's voice. If you are "alive," you are greatly loved.
