The Steadfast Love of the Lord

Foreword

“Sam Storms has blessed me so many times through his life and ministry, but the honesty and hope of this book moved me in a special way. We all need help to keep going when life brings suffering, and Sam teaches us how: look to the steadfast love of the Lord. Sam shows us how to take refuge in God’s love even when we cannot understand his ways (which will surely happen to us all). This richly biblical series of meditations will be edifying to everyone who reads it and will bring special comfort and strength to those who are struggling with doubts or spiritual dryness.”

Gavin Ortlund

“When the Creator of the universe calls himself ‘I AM,” he reminds us that he is in control through the good times and the bad. Those words also remind us that God loves us—unconditionally, passionately, consistently. He loves us when a child dies, when a cancer diagnosis is made, when a marriage crumbles, and when death arrives. We may not know why we experience these trials, but we can know with absolute assurance that God’s love for us is steadfast, never changing, always present. Drink in the pages of this book and let Sam Storms remind you that God is love—and that he will always love you.”

Janet Parshall

“This new book by veteran Bible teacher Sam Storms is a spiritually refreshing, joy-inspiring, pastorally wise study of one of the most important concepts in the Bible: God’s steadfast love. Readers of this book will find themselves overwhelmed by a deeper, fuller awareness of God’s loving presence.”

Wayne Grudem

“For years, long after earning a PhD in theology, my greatest theological struggle has been an almost subconscious doubt of God’s love for me. I knew this truth in my head, of course, but struggled to grasp the reality with my heart. I am thankful for Storms’s scripturally faithful and pastorally insightful treatment of this incredible subject. I only wish I’d read it sooner! Someone once said that the gospel is like a well: the best water is found by going deeper. We simply cannot steep ourselves in the gospel of God’s love enough. Enjoy this book.”
