Christ gave himself so we could be included in the beloved. And it seems that certainly the Father, Jesus and Holy Spirit are included in the beloved. But are the holy angels included? Or is the dynamic more like the Father expects their faithfulness or they get a hot swim? No grace for their order in creation?

It seems to me that they observed a militant alignment to Holiness which continues on, just as the fallen observed a militant alignment to unholiness which continues on through their ranks.

It seems appropriate to be grateful to workers of righteousness wherever they are in the orders of creation, as when a faithful soldier is awarded a medal for service.

It seems likely that belovedness is reserved between redeemed image bearers and God, otherwise something like trafficking is afoot.

My apologies for any hazards. I'm trying to sort, shelve and flush each thought as appropriate.

I have the impression that this is a mystery to be revealed at another time and in another context. It's not in the neighborhood of where They are pleased for my attention to dwell in any extended examination.
