1 Jeremiah 31:31–33 Behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah. It will not be like the covenant I made with their fathers when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt— a covenant they broke, though I was a husband to them, ” declares the LORD. “But this is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the LORD. I will put My law in their minds and inscribe it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they will be My people.
2 Ezekiel 36:26 I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will remove your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.
3 Jeremiah 24:7 I will give them a heart to know Me, that I am the LORD. They will be My people, and I will be their God, for they will return to Me with all their heart.
4 Hebrews 6:13–18 When God made His promise to Abraham, since He had no one greater to swear by, He swore by Himself, saying, “I will surely bless you and multiply your descendants.” And so Abraham, after waiting patiently, obtained the promise. Men swear by someone greater than themselves, and their oath serves as a confirmation to end all argument. So when God wanted to make the unchanging nature of His purpose very clear to the heirs of the promise, He guaranteed it with an oath. Thus by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of the hope set before us may be strongly encouraged.
5 James 1:17 Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, with whom there is no change or shifting shadow.

Jeremiah 32:40 Summary

He promises to never turn away from doing good to us, and this gives us comfort and peace, as seen in Romans 8:28. By trusting in God's covenant promises, we can have confidence that He will always be with us and care for us, just as He promised in Deuteronomy 31:6.

How does God put His fear in the hearts of His people?

God puts His fear in the hearts of His people by giving them a deep reverence and respect for Him, as mentioned in Jeremiah 32:40, and as seen in Psalm 86:11 and Proverbs 1:7, where the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.

What does it mean for God to never turn away from doing good to His people?

Gill's Exposition on Jeremiah 32:40

And I will make an everlasting covenant with them,.... Which is made known and manifest at conversion; when the grace of it is applied; the blessings of it bestowed; and the promises of it made good;

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Jeremiah 32:40

And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from them, to do them good; but I will put my fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart from me.

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Jeremiah 32:40

This promise manifestly relateth to those Jews that should receive the Lord Jesus Christ, or that were Israelites indeed; for as to others, God did turn away from doing them good, when their city was taken by Titus; unless it be to be understood of a national conversion of the Jews, not yet effected. I will put my fear into their hearts, that they shall not depart from me; my Spirit, which shall beget in them a dread of me, so as they shall not depart from me. Hence some conclude well, that when once the body of the Jews shall be converted, they shall never again apostatize from God. It may well from hence be concluded, that both conversion unto God, and perseverance in the ways of God, are the gifts of God; we are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation.

Trapp's Commentary on Jeremiah 32:40

Jeremiah 32:40 And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from them, to do them good; but I will put my fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart from me.Ver. 40. And I will make.] See Jeremiah 31:31 Ezekiel 39:29.

Ellicott's Commentary on Jeremiah 32:40

(40) I will make an everlasting covenant . . .—The “covenant” thus promised is, it must be remembered, identical with that of Jer 31:31—the “new covenant,” which shall never wax old and decay, but shall abide for ever. “My fear” is identical with “the fear of the Lord,” which is “the beginning of wisdom.” The curse of Israel had been that they had been without that fear to restrain them from evil, and that the mere dread of punishment had proved powerless to supply its place.

Cambridge Bible on Jeremiah 32:40

40. that they shall not depart] better, that it turn not away.

Whedon's Commentary on Jeremiah 32:40

40. I will not turn away from them, to do them good — The comma of the English text is misleading, and should be omitted. The meaning is, I will no longer withhold from them the good they need.
