Throughout the history of mankind, we see God perusing man in order to redeem him from the consequences of his sin. We see this clearly played out in the covenants that God enters into with Adam to David that are ultimately fulfilled in the New Covenant in Jesus and the church. As we study the Covenants of God, consider the motivation of God to pursue his creation.

Hesed is God's loving-kindness —the consistent, ever-faithful, relentless, constantly-pursuing, lavish, extravagant, unrestrained, one-way love of God. It is often translated as covenant love, loving-kindness, mercy, steadfast love, loyal love, devotion, commitment, or reliability.
