The love and loyalty exhibited by God’s faithful people in the last days will be reciprocated many times over by our covenant-keeping God.^{[28]https://www.adventistworld.org/faithfulness-to-god-and-his-church/} The cross of Christ demonstrates not only God’s love and mercy but also the value He places on each of His children and the significance of the endearing title, “Our Father.”CFL 32.2
