God’s Promises for Never Leaving You
God promises never to leave you nor forsake you: His faithfulness holds even when everything and everyone else lets go.
This promise is repeated throughout Scripture so that we will believe it: God will not leave, will not fail, will not forsake.
His commitment to you does not depend on your performance. He holds you fast, and nothing in all creation can separate you from His love.

“For he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.”

“Yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee. Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands.”

How this points to Jesus
Jesus was forsaken on the cross so that we would never be. He carved our names on His own scarred hands. Every promise that God will never leave you is sealed in Christ, who holds His people so securely that not even death can take them from Him.
