What is steadfast?

Famous quotes containing the word steadfast:

    The LORD, the LORD, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness, keeping steadfast love for the thousandth generation, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, yet by no means clearing the guilty, but visiting the iniquity of the parents upon the children and the children’s children, to the third and the fourth generation.
    Bible: Hebrew, Exodus 34:6,7.

    Children also need opportunities to practice being less than perfect. They can afford to be ill tempered with us because it is our love that is most constant. This is the essence of unconditional love.... Our steadfast love provides a safe haven.
    Cathy Rindner Tempelsman (20th century)

    For all the saints who from their labors rest,
    Who, to the world their steadfast faith confessed,
    your name, O Jesus, be forever blessed
    Alleluia!
    William Walsham How (1823–1897)
