His relationship with 42 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 2: us is not based on the time we live, in 43 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 2: the place we find ourselves in, or the physical geology 44 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:46,719 Speaker 2: of the earth around us. The entire earth will burn, 45 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:51,280 Speaker 2: a new heaven and earth will come down.

His promise of love and relationship will 54 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 2: never be broken. There is no universe in which God 55 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:37,839 Speaker 2: will just stop loving you. God, in his mercy, has 56 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 2: based his covenant on himself, for He never changes, and 57 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 2: in him there is no shadow of turning.

Quite the opposite. 72 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,159 Speaker 2: He promised that at times we would be abandoned by 73 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:15,679 Speaker 2: those we love. Do not allow this to discourage you. 74 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 2: God promised he would always welcome you. The Holy Spirit 75 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:26,400 Speaker 2: is on your side. He wants to help you, so 76 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 2: be bold and ask him. Ask the Holy Spirit to 77 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 2: speak to you through God's word.
