Steadfast Love

Did you know that “Steadfast Love” appears 206 times in the Bible? 206 times! Over two hundred times that God is reminding us that His love towards us is firm, never changing, unmovable, unshakable.

The Lord passed before him and proclaimed, “The Lord, the Lord, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness… Exodus 34:6

Wondrously show your steadfast love, O Savior of those who seek refuge from their adversaries at your right hand. Psalm 17:7

For your steadfast love is before my eyes, and I walk in your faithfulness. Psalm 26:3

I think God is trying to make a point. What do you think?

Steadfast Love in the ESV

Dry wells send us to the fountain.

No pen, no words, no image can express to you the loveliness of my only, only Lord Jesus.

- Samuel Rutherford, The Loveliness of Christ

I love it! I told James about 3 months ago that God keeps showing me scripture referring to His steadfast love. 206 times... Wow! I am so thankful for this type of love He gives us.
