Steadfast Love

Psalms 117:2 - "For great is his steadfast love toward us, and the faithfulness of the Lord endures forever. Praise the Lord"




To whom does God show His steadfast love? To the one who walks righteously, and speaks what is right, who rejects gain from extortion (one who rejects dishonest gain) and keeps his hand from accepting bribes (keeps his hands off from undue or illegal favor), who stops his ears against plots of murder (keeps his mind and heart away from evil thoughts) and shuts his eyes against contemplating murder (Isaiah 33: 15). In other words God’s stedfast love is experienced by the one who keeps his life away from every form of ungodliness and worldly passions. Titus 2:11 & 12 says, “For the grace (tender mercies) of God has appeared and it teaches us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly passions."

The Scripture is very clear that every form of ungodliness and worldly passions must be uprooted from our lives to experience the grace of God and to remain under His steadfast love. James 2:10 says, “ For whoever keeps the whole law (teachings) and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it.” This means that if any form of ungodliness or worldly passion still exists in our lives then we find ourselves away from the grace and mercy of God.

Therefore I urge you brethren to be joyful always (irrespective of the situation you are in); pray continuously; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus (1 Thes. 5:16).

Have A Blessed Day!

God Bless

Every Day With Jesus
