Heb.6:9 But, beloved, we are persuaded of better things for you, and things that accompany salvation, even though we speak like this. 6:10 For God is not unrighteous, so as to forget your work and the labor of love which you showed toward his name, in that you served the saints, and still do serve them.

Our heavenly Father has a purpose for each of his children born of His reproductive powers the Holy Spirit. Let us not assume as many do in unrighteous world that God is quick to withdraw his love for his children. Let us recall the beautiful things of God like the story of the prodigal son whom spent his inheritance defiled all of what his father had given him and stood for. Yet, upon retuning to his father, the father opened his house and restored his son and rejoiced greatly over having his son home.

Rom. 8:37 No, in all these things, we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 8:38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, 8:39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

No! God is not unrighteous as men are, his love does not fail or give out like our love under the power of sin where we are forced to make people earn our love in order to protect ourselves from being ruined. In context Paul has been speaking of the power of Christ God's promise to us. Hence, God 's Word, Christ, will have certain success unlike those watered with the physical law given to Moses producing nothing but death for those thinking they could be proved righteous by law, even God's law. The big picture in context Paul to words is, he is arguing the superiority of the Christ over the written law of Moses. Where the law failed the Jews, producing thorns and thistles instead of a paradise of eternal life, Christ Jesus God's Word would not.

Isaiah 55:11 so shall my word be that goes forth out of my mouth: it shall not return to me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing I sent it to do.

Christ life would take the nation of Israel from a physical nation into a spiritual nation how? Because all those dead in Christ Jesus are not judged by the physical laws of God for sin. They now would be considered sinless, declared righteous, having not their sinful flesh accounted against them in judgment. But here many had not mature in Christ coming to realize this superiority they had gained. Instead they were fleshly seeing the power of the flesh in using condemning laws practiced in the earthly temple service.

Rom.8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who don't walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.{NU omits "who don't walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit"} 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death. 8:3 For what the law couldn't do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God did, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh;

Now Christian's must accept by faith that the old heavens and earth (Jewish system of things) were completed for God's purposes being w rolled up set aside for the superior life of Christ the spiritual temple where their sins were atone for once for all time not year to year. God could not forget works done through his son Christ Jesus, because those works are righteous, because Christ Jesus life is the righteousness of God's temple, which temple are his body members.

Romans 10:4 For Christ is the fulfillment{or, completion, or end} of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.
