How do we know God will not forsake His people?

In 1 Samuel 12:22, it is declared that 'the Lord will not forsake his people for his great name's sake.' This assurance rests not on the faithfulness of God’s people but on God’s own faithfulness as a covenant keeper. His promises are secured by His unchanging nature and His covenant toward His elect. Therefore, when we reflect on His deeds, we understand that God’s commitment to His people is rooted in His character and His desire to glorify Himself through their redemption. Even amidst our flaws and failures, His plans and purposes remain steadfast.
