Nevertheless, my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, etc.] Or “make it void” f1280, not from Christ, who always was, and ever will be, the dear Son of his love, even while he was obeying, suffering, and dying; nor from all those that are in him, loved and chosen in him, from everyone of his spiritual seed, who are all dear sons, and pleasant children; and the love of God to his people is in Christ; and therefore there can he no separation from it; nor will it ever depart from them, or be utterly or at all taken from them, as to that itself, though sometimes the manifestations of it are withdrawn from them; but the love of God itself is invariable and unchangeable; (see <450838>Romans 8:38,39), nor is it removed when God afflicts and chastens his people; for his chastenings are from love, and in love; the reason why he chastens them is because he loves them, and he loves them while he is chastening them; he visits and comforts them, sympathizes with them, supports them, and supplies them, and makes all things work together for their good, (<660319>Revelation 3:19), nor suffer my faithfulness to fail; in making good his engagements to Christ, in keeping the covenant made with him, and in fulfilling his promises to his people; and even when he afflicts them, it is in faithfulness to them; nor will he suffer them to be afflicted above what they are able to bear, and will support them under it, and deliver out of it, (<19B975>Psalm 119:75 <461013>1 Corinthians 10:13) or “I will not falsify in my truth” f1281; or falsify his word; he is faithful that has promised, who will do it, yea, notwithstanding the unbelief of his people, (<581023>Hebrews 10:23 <550213>2 Timothy 2:13).
