Aim: To be transformed by grace into lovers of God.
The status of those whom God loves: they are precious on the basis of covenant and sovereignty.
Exegesis: The objects of God's undying love: His priceless Son, who is His saints' glory (vv. 7-8); His cherished Church, which is His Son's purchase (vv. 9-10); His Spirit's work, which procures the renewing of His image (vv. 11-12).
Further application: How to share in God's treasure chest: let us love those whom our Father loves, and value that which our Father values.
Key verse: v. 9 ''But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.''
