Love’s Unfailingness

Love’s unfailing Promise
Joshua 23:14
Now I am about to go the way of all the earth.  You know with all your heart and soul that not one of all the good promises the Lord your God gave you has failed. Every promise  has been fulfilled; not one has failed.

Love’s unfailing Supply
1 Kings 17:14
For this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: ‘The jar of flour will not be used up and the jug of oil will not run dry until the day the Lord sends rain  on the land.’”

Results of not Submitting

The unsubmissive were killed – Luke 20:9-16
He went on to tell the people this parable: “A man planted a vineyard,  rented it to some farmers and went away for a long time.    At harvest time he sent a servant to the tenants so they would give him some of the fruit of the vineyard. But the tenants beat him and sent him away empty-handed.   He sent another servant, but that one also they beat and treated shamefully and sent away empty-handed.   He sent still a third, and they wounded him and threw him out.

    “Then the owner of the vineyard said, ‘What shall I do? I will send my son, whom I love;  perhaps they will respect him.’

    “But when the tenants saw him, they talked the matter over. ‘This is the heir,’ they said. ‘Let’s kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’   So they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him.
 “What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them?   He will come and kill those tenants  and give the vineyard to others.”

 When the people heard this, they said, “God forbid!”

. Forgiveness is powerful and beneficial.  When we forgive someone for hurting us, it frees us from feeling like victims or feeling we are under the power of the person who hurt us. - Grace Ketterman
