I guess this blog name should be explained
Well for those of you who do not know, hesed (pronounced with a guttural ch at the beginning) is the Hebrew word for covenant loyalty. Throughout the OT this word occurs to describe how God responds to His covenant, with faithfulness. God is completely faithful. In fact, I am studying the letter to the Romans this semester and the view of the "New Perspective" explains one of the major, if not the major, theme in Romans is God's faithfulness to His covenant is seen in the life and ministry and death and resurrection of Jesus. God is faithful to his covenant, no matter how faithless his people are. The title of my blog is about holding on to the hope that and fact that God is completely faithful to those who belong to God.
