Ezekiel chapter 16 verses 59 and 60

for thus says the Lord God

I will deal with you as you have done. You who have despised the

oath in breaking the covenant. Yet I will remember my covenant with you in the days of your youth, and I will establish for

you an everlasting covenant.

These two verses come at the end of a long chapter that's really hard to read in many ways as God

describes his love for his people, his relationship with his people, like a relationship between a husband and a wife,

a husband who cherishes his wife, a husband who adorns his wife with beauty and honor and then his wife turns from him and

runs after all kinds of other lovers and basically you see this imagery of unfaithfulness

and adultery all throughout this chapter and judgment that flows from that as God speaks to his people

who have run after other idols instead of him and taken all the grace he has poured out on them, all the goodness

he's bestowed on them and used it to run away from him. And yet here at the end, in picture of just judgment do God's people he says

yet I will remember my covenant with you in other words I will remember my

promises to you in the days of your youth

that before you had done this, I promised to love you and to redeem you. I promised to love you and I will establish God

says for you an everlasting covenant. In other words I am going to be faithful to my word and this is why when we read the Bible we have an old

testament and a new testament old covenant God initial Old Covenant, God initiating his relationship with his people, with his covenant people, the people

of Israel, and then the New Covenant covenant God sending Jesus to seal this everlasting covenant that

was promised all throughout the Old Testament to sinners who kept turning away from God and God

ultimately says I love you so much I'm coming to you myself to pay the price for all your sin against me to make it possible

for anyone anywhere no matter who you are or what you have done this This is the greatest news in the world.
