Our God is a loyal God. His attitude to his people is summed up in the word “Hesed,” variously translated as “covenant loyalty,” “loyal love,” or “faithfulness.” The story of Israel is the story of a fickle people who wander away, repeatedly, from a loyal God. He remains loyal despite the lack of loyalty from them—even though loyalty is the heart of the first commandment as well as the second.
The disloyalty of Israel takes the form of “forgetting” their God and living as if He did not exist, and also the form of actively following other idolatrous gods.
