‏ Deuteronomy 7:6-9

7:6 ^a Of all peoples on earth, God chose Israel as his special treasure. Israel had not done anything commendable; rather, God acted out of grace that was undeserved and freely given.
7:9 ^b A faithful God is absolutely dependable and can be leaned upon. Abraham was commended as being righteous because he believed God; he was wholly dependent upon God’s faithfulness (Gen 15:6 ^c).

• Contrasted with human agents, who often break their pledges, the Lord faithfully keeps his covenant.
