FAITHFUL

"Understand, therefore, that the LORD your God is indeed God. He is the faithful God who keeps his covenant for a thousand generations and lavishes his unfailing love on those who love him and obey his commands."
Deuteronomy 7:9 (NLT)

"O Lord God Almighty! Where is there anyone as mighty as You, Lord? Faithfulness is Your very character"
Psalm 89:8 (NLT)

“Now by this we know that we know Him, IF we keep His commandments."
1 John 2:3 (NLT)

"The saying is trustworthy, for: If we have died with him, we will also live with him. If we endure with him, we will also reign with him. If we deny him, he will also deny us. If we are faithless, he remains faithful. For he cannot deny himself."
2 Timothy 2: 11-13 (NLT)

"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness."
1 John 1:9 (NLT)

"The Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one."
2 Thessalonians 3:3 (NLT)

GOD’S FAITHFULNESS TO US IS NOT DEPENDENT ON OUR FAITHFULNESS TO HIM BUT LIVING FAITHFUL HELPS OTHERS SEE THAT GOD IS FAITHFUL.

GOD’S FAITHFULNESS TO US IS NOT DEPENDENT ON OUR FAITHFULNESS TO HIM BUT LIVING FAITHFUL HELPS OTHERS SEE THAT GOD IS FAITHFUL.

GOD IS FAITHFUL BECAUSE OF WHO HE IS, NOT BECAUSE OF WHO WE ARE.

GOD IS FAITHFUL NOT BECAUSE OF HOW WE ACT OR WHAT WE DO, HOW MUCH WE ACHIEVE OR DON’T ACHIEVE.  HE IS FAITHFUL AND TRUSTWORTHY BECAUSE HE IS GOD.

HOW DID MEN AND WOMEN IN THE SCRIPTURES DEMONSTRATE FAITHFULNESS?

1. THEY POINTED PEOPLE TO GOD.   
2. THEY DIDN’T LET THEIR PASTS DEFINE THEM.
3. THEY WEREN’T CONCERNED ABOUT THEIR REPUTATION, THEY WERE CONCERNED ABOUT GOD’S.
4. WHEN FACED WITH DAUNTING SITUATIONS THEY WORSHIPED AND PRAYED.
5. THEY LIVED REPENTANT LIVES. 
6. THEY SOUGHT AFTER GOD AND WORKED WHOLEHEARTEDLY.

"Faithfulness is at the heart of all that God is and does. His truthfulness, holiness, love, righteousness, and other attributes ensure His faithfulness. He is incapable of being otherwise."  John Piper
