God's love and God's faithfulness appear side by side in Exodus 34 — they are inseparable, and Comer explores why a God who is loving but unreliable would be no comfort at all.
Discussion Questions
7 questions1.Comer pairs "abounding in love" with "abounding in faithfulness" — the Hebrew word here is emet, meaning truth, reliability, and constancy. Why do love and faithfulness need each other? What would God's love look like without his faithfulness to back it up?
2.The book of Lamentations — one of the most raw and grief-saturated books in the Bible — contains the famous line, "His mercies are new every morning; great is your faithfulness." What makes a declaration of God's faithfulness especially powerful coming from someone in the middle of catastrophic loss?
3.Comer argues that God's faithfulness is not dependent on our faithfulness — it is rooted in his character, not our performance. How does that truth function as both a comfort and a challenge?
