In the Bible, God reveals His passionate, tender love for His people in the terms of endearment which He lavishes upon us. I have compiled the following alphabetical list using the King James Version (KJV). It includes God’s affectionate names for us, as well as those which describe the qualities of people who know Him intimately.
In the Bible references, I usually listed only first mentions, one for Israel and one for the Church, when it applies. Occasionally, I have included additional references when I thought a second verse was especially meaningful.
See how He loves you!
