Jeremiah 31:3

Assurance of future salvation rests on Yahweh’s eternal commitment and His loving election of Israel (cf. Exodus 19:5-6; Deuteronomy 7:9). He had loved it "from afar" in the wilderness following the Exodus, and He would love it "from afar" in the Exile. "Love" and "faithfulness" are both strong covenant terms.

"It is the LORD’s constant commitment to Israel that bridges the generations and makes restoration possible." [Note: Scalise, p. 108.]
