13. HIS LOVE: PSALM 136:1-5, 10-15, 23-26
God’s unchanging loves gives us reason to celebrate.

14. There may be no more significant Old Testament description
of how God relates to His people than this Hebrew
word hesed. I argue that the best translation of this term
would be “loyal love.” God loves His people genuinely
(seriously), immutably (unchanging), loyally (consistent).
Both the love and the loyalty are, of course, tightly bound
together. That is, just as one cannot love capriciously
(suddenly) so one cannot be loyal without love. God is for His
people, and will never cease to be for them.
Our calling is to reflect that reality. Our loyalty and our love,
grounded in our loyal love toward Him who loved us loyally
first, ought to be toward both what it is we believe, and those
with whom we believe it. Too often we fail one way or another.
