The Lord God loves His people so as to be their Savior and Deliverer; this is who He is, this is what He does: “I am Yahweh your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt.” This is a finished fact, already accomplished by Grace and Power. Like the finished fact of the Cross and Tomb, Jesus says ,”I am Yahweh your God who delivered you.”
After God’s Love already saved His people He still loves them and wants to bless them further so as to be their Protector and Provider; He would love to subdue and turn away their enemies and to feed and satisfy them with wheat and honey. God yearns, longs and aches to protect and provide because He loves so much, but He can’t if they won’t listen and obey (hearken). “If only they would walk in my ways I would subdue their enemies and feed them abundantly.” This promise is conditional: if you would…I would.
Unfortunately, sinful man “would not.” Therefore, he will hear these most dreadful words: “So I gave them up to their own hearts’ lusts.” But He still loves him: the way of repentance and faith in the Gospel is still open.
