God’s Steadfast Love and Faithfulness

“Know therefore that the Lord your God is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, to a thousand generations,” (Deut. 7:9)

Great is thy faithfulness!

The wonderful hymn “Great is Thy Faitfulness”, written in 1923 by Thomas O. Chisholm, starts off with. “Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father; There is no shadow of turning with Thee; Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not; As Thou hast been Thou forever wilt be.” He got it exactly right! The Bible states this promise repeatedly from cover to cover.

“Your steadfast love, O Lord, extends to the heavens, your faithfulness to the clouds.” (Psalm 36:5)

New every morning

“The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” (Lam. 3:22-23 ESV)

Therefore

“If we are faithless, he remains faithful— for he cannot deny himself.” (2 Tim. 2:13)

“God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.” (1 Cor. 1:9)
