The feeling that human systems, relationships, and even structures designed for faith can fail is a common experience, often driving believers toward a more direct, unwavering reliance on God….. • Human & Institutional Fallibility:The "falling away" or failure of people, leaders, and organizations is often highlighted in the context of times where sound doctrine is ignored for personal comfort. This recognizes that all human endeavors—and people—are flawed and incapable of the perfection found in the divine.
• The Steadfastness of God: In contrast, Scripture describes God’s faithfulness as absolute, unchanging, and eternal (Malachi 3:6). Even when people are faithless, the Bible states that He remains faithful because He cannot deny Himself (2 Timothy 2:13).
• Never Leave Nor Forsake: The promise that He will "never leave you nor forsake you" is one of the most prominent assurances in the Bible, appearing in both the Old and New Testaments (Deuteronomy 31:6-8, Hebrews 13:5). This is interpreted as a "double promise" (or double negative in Greek) designed to provide profound comfort and security.
• A "New" Dependability: When earthly supports fail, this perspective suggests that God's mercies are "new every morning" and that His love is not dependent on human performance.
# conclusion…
This viewpoint encourages turning from disappointment in the world to finding an "anchor" in the unchanging character of God.
