Summary
When your whole spiritual engine breaks down and you've messed up so bad that you're running away from God, you may think there's no hope. When your faith fails, are you ready for this? God remains faithful. Why? Because He can’t deny Himself. It is part of God's character. He is absolutely faithful.
Defining the faithfulness of God
- Definition = “Steadfast in affection or allegiance – loyal.
- Synonyms – Dependable, trustworthy, loyal, staunch, resolute, constant, reliable, true to one’s word, keeps one’s promises, true to and consistent to one’s character, someone “who comes through for you.”
Why is God able to be faithful 100% of the time?
- He is all-knowing – He is never caught off guard. -Romans 11:33-36
- He is all-powerful – He never encounters anything or anyone who can thwart His plans or purposes.
- He is holy – He is pure, honest, full of integrity, unable to lie, and therefore, is always consistent with His character and His Word. -Isaiah 6:1-6
- He is eternal – He is not affected by space or time; He knows the end from the beginning. -Psalm 90:2
- He is omnipresent – Nothing can happen outside the sphere of His influence. -Psalm 139:7-11
- He is immutable – He never changes; is never different then He is now, He is never in a bad mood, and never has a bad day. -Malachi 3:6, Hebrews 13:8
How does God reveal His faithfulness to us?
- Through His CREATION
- Through His PEOPLE
- Through His CHARACTER
- Through His WORD
- Through His SHAPING of our lives
How can we respond to God’s faithfulness?
- Put your PAST behind you today! -1 John 1:9
- Bring your PRESENT problems, pains, and failures to Jesus today! -Matthew 11:28-30
- Put your HOPE for the future in the One who will never let you down! -Jeremiah 17:5-8
