GOD’S FAITHFULNESS

Deuteronomy 7:9 NASB95

“Know therefore that the Lord your God, He is God, the faithful God, who keeps His covenant and His lovingkindness to a thousandth generation with those who love Him and keep His commandments;

Isaiah 49:7 NASB95

Thus says the Lord, the Redeemer of Israel and its Holy One, To the despised One, To the One abhorred by the nation, To the Servant of rulers, “Kings will see and arise, Princes will also bow down, Because of the Lord who is faithful, the Holy One of Israel who has chosen You.”

Another word for Faithfulness is Truth

God’s word is true and he is faithful to it.

GOD’s Response to Faithlessness

Deuteronomy 32:20 NASB95

“Then He said, ‘I will hide My face from them, I will see what their end shall be; For they are a perverse generation, Sons in whom is no faithfulness.

And our response to God’s Faithfulness should Be the statement of faith and proved by our Faithfulness.

Lamentations 3:22 NASB95

The Lord’s lovingkindnesses indeed never cease, For His compassions never fail.

Lamentations 3:23 NASB95

They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness.

Moses had faith and showed it by his Faithfulness to the leadership of Gods people.

Rewards

Isaiah 61:8 NASB95

For I, the Lord, love justice, I hate robbery in the burnt offering; And I will faithfully give them their recompense And make an everlasting covenant with them.

My thought:

God views faithfulness is one who has unwavering commitment to his promises. We have to commit to GOD in a way that keeps him as the one whom we trust. Commitment to God is manifests its self through continued obedience.

As people we know what faith to a job looks like because we have been taught and it has shown evidence.

Galatians 3:6-9

6 Even so Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness.

7 Therefore, be sure that it is those who are of faith who are sons of Abraham.

8 The Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, “All the nations will be blessed in you.”

9 So then those who are of faith are blessed with Abraham, the believer

Hebrew 11:8-10

New American Standard Bible: 1995 Update Chapter 11

8 By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed by going out to a place which he was to receive for an inheritance; and he went out, not knowing where he was going.

9 By faith he lived as an alien in the land of promise, as in a foreign land, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, fellow heirs of the same promise;

10 for he was looking for the city which has foundations, whose architect and builder is God.

My Thought

We as people can say we have faith but it takes faithfulness to prove it.

So Faithfulness is evidence of Faith.
