Loved First
from Grace Slowly
This text examines the biblical account of Jesus’ baptism to illustrate that divine approval precedes human achievement. By highlighting that God declared His love for Jesus before any miracles or preaching occurred, the author emphasizes that identity is rooted in grace rather than performance. This theological perspective suggests that individuals do not need to be impressive to earn God’s affection, as acceptance is granted before activity. The narrative follows Jesus from His humble baptism into a period of testing, proving that spiritual worth is established by God at the outset of one's journey. Ultimately, the source encourages readers to recognize that they are loved first, mirroring the same sequence of grace that defined the life of Christ.
