Deuteronomy 7:9 Know that Yahweh your God is God, the faithful God who keeps His gracious covenant loyalty for a thousand generations with those who love Him and keep His commands.
Moses is reminding the people whom it is that they must obey and serve. They do not follow a false god who is fickle, falls away, or fails. They follow the God who is always faithful and trustworthy. A thousand generations is a term meaning an immeasurable future rather than specifying a specific length of time. God’s loyalty to His covenant is boundless and unending. His people never need to fear about God holding up His side of the agreement because He is constant and faithful. He can always be trusted to do what He has said He will.
God’s faithfulness is for all time. We do not have a God who forgets, changes His mind, or fails. We have an all-powerful, faithful ruler, who was with the people of Israel thousands of years ago and is still with us today. This absolute faithfulness makes Him perfect in love and mercy but also perfect in justice. He cannot go against justice because it is in His very nature. Because of our sins, our turning away from God, death is the consequence. He cannot ignore the penalty that must be paid; but because He is also perfect in mercy, He takes the penalty upon Himself in order that we can be forgiven and once again live in covenant with Him.
2 Timothy 2:13 If we are unfaithful, he remains faithful because he cannot be untrue to himself.
Romans 11:29 God never changes his mind when he gives gifts or when he calls someone.
I HOPE YOU FOUND THIS QUICK REFRESHER TO BE HELPFUL.
LET US NOT FORGET THAT OUR GOD IS ALL-POWERFUL AND FAITHFUL.
WE CAN DEPEND ON OUR GOD.
