Many people attribute things to God other than loyal love, even Christians. It is not that they doubt God is love, it is just they expect other things from Him more. However, it is not consistent with His history to be framed any other way…
“…God, on His part will keep the covenant of loyal love He made with your ancestors: He will love you, He will bless you, He will increase you.” ~Deut. 7:12-13
The first covenant has gotten a bad rap. This is occurred because the New Testament covenant is based on grace more than obedience, but the Old Testament covenant was a pretty special and generous thing. The above verse reveals God’s part of the Old Testament covenant, and it was based on His promise to pour loyal love upon us. Maybe we need to take a step back and realize that God has always engaged us with His unfailing love. If this is true even back in the hard-hitting Old Testament days, how much more true in these present days. Our God-family has a long standing heritage of loyal love and blessing and increase. We get this generous love stuff….it’s in our DNA. Ours is A LINEAGE OF LOVE! ~Verlon
