Faithfulness, or steadfastness, is rooted in perseverance.  We are faithful when we are constant.  We are faithful when we are truthful.  We are faithful when we are dependable.  Faithfulness may be the most important Fruit of the Spirit to our family and friends.

Faithfulness is an attribute of God on which we rely heavily.  If not for God’s unwavering faith, we could not be sure that all of our sins would be forgiven.  Not sure that eternity is forever.  Not even sure if Heaven really exists. 

But, as it is, God will forgive us for a multitude of sins.  We don’t have to worry about how many or which ones.  We are assured that when we enter into our final state, it will be an eternal existence.  And we not only are sure that Heaven exists, we read in the fourth chapter of Revelation about John’s glimpse into the throne room of God.  Yes, we count on God’s faithfulness for everything we have and for everything that is to come.

In what do you put your faith?  Does it demonstrate steadfastness and perseverance, or is it fleeting and tenuous?  Trust in the Lord.  He will never forsake you.

Everyone have a blessed weekend.
