He has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of His beloved Son, — Colossians 1:13

His beloved Son—the beloved, the Son in whom the Father is well pleased. And here's the stunning truth: we've been translated into the kingdom of this same dear Son. The one who was in the bosom of the Father from eternity has brought us into the family. God's love for his Son is the measure of his love for us. Jesus prayed that the love the Father had for him would be in us. Behold what manner of love the Father has given to us—that we should be called children of God.
