That's what steadfast means. It means strong love. The apostle Paul talks about being rooted and grounded in love. That's what we're talking about. One last way to translate the word chesed is forgiveness .
Forgiveness is a whole subject all by itself.
It can seem like encouraging injustice. I've said this before, but I'll go ahead and say it again. Forgiveness is not forgetting that wrong has been done. Forgiveness doesn't mean excusing evil. And by rights, everything ought to be over between us.
