John Calvin Commentary Psalms 94:14

"For Jehovah will not cast off his people, Neither will he forsake his inheritance." — Psalms 94:14 (ASV)

Surely Jehovah will not cast off his people. He reinforces the same truth He had stated above in still clearer terms, denying that it is possible for God to cast off His people, whom He had chosen to be His inheritance.

When attacked by afflictions, we should fly to this consideration as a sanctuary of refuge: that we are God’s people, gratuitously adopted into His family, and that He must necessarily have a most intimate and tender regard for our safety, having promised to watch as carefully over His Church as if it were His own heritage. We are thus taught again that our patience will soon give way and fail, unless the turmoil of carnal suggestions is calmed by a knowledge of the divine favor shining upon our souls.
