A faithful person is a reliable
person. He is a trustworthy person. In whatever field he is, people around him
will trust him and always wants to be with him, simply because he is faithful.
Some people make faithfulness a hallmark of their human relationships, but the
faithfulness that matters most is the faithfulness we show towards God. When a
person walks consistently with God, in humble service to Him, he can be called “Faithful”.
Day to day life has much importance
in faithfulness. In a married life, the couples should be faithful to each
other’s. If not, rust won’t come, and the relationship will go into negative.
Same is the case of a parent-child relationship. If you are faithful, not
matter what the circumstance is, you will be rewarded.
If you review the fruits of the Holy
Spirit, faith comes in it (Galatians
5:22). So faith is the fruit which we should develop in ourselves by the
help of the Holy Spirit. The greatest example of a faithful man is the father
of faith, Abraham. He faithfully believed in God and lived.
“So
those who rely on faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith” –
Galatians 3: 9
When Israelites went to the promise
land, Caleb showed his faithfulness and got rewarded by entering the promise
land, which even Moses was not able to.
“Not
one of you will enter the land I swore with uplifted hand to make your home,
except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun” – Numbers 14: 30
In a Christian life, faithfulness is
not optional, it is compulsory. Salvation has to be accepted through faith. To
get the rewards and inheritance, faith is needed in this world. A blessing, or
a job, needs to be attained through faith. Miracles happen because of faith in
God. Healing comes when faith goes up high.
“Faith
comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about
Christ” – Romans 10: 17.
That is why, meditating the word of
God is so important in the life of a Christian. Claim the promises, grab the
faith and see how your life goes towards victory.
Be faithful as God is faithful
“If we are
faithless, he (God) remains faithful, for he cannot disown himself” – 2 Timothy 2: 13
