FAITHFULNESS

FAITHFULNESS

It is one of the attributes of God that is most frequently highlighted in the Scriptures (Deut. 7:9; 32:4; Neh. 9:33; Ps. 25:10; 36:5; 89:2-3; Is. 11:5, etc.).

The faithful God is worthy of our faith and trust, he keeps the promises and the covenant, fulfilling his word, but also his threats. He is unchangeable (Ps. 90:1-2; 102:26-28). He is faithful and just to forgive us in the name of Christ, because of his accomplished work (1 Jn. 1:9).

Fidelity should also be the characteristic of the believer.
It is an aspect of the fruit of the Spirit (Gal. 5:22-23).
It is par excellence the quality that God demands of us, the dispensers of his mysteries (1 Cor. 4:1-2).

If we are faithful in small things, we will be trusted with great things (Lk. 16:10-12).
It is with God’s help that the believer will be able to be faithful until death (Rev. 2:10) and for it there is promise of a rich reward (Mt. 24:45-46).
