Make Me to be Faithful
And today, our sixth lesson on the fruit of the Spirit…We’ll be looking at the fruit called “faithfulness”
Make Me – to be Faithful!
In our text the words, “for not all have faith. But the Lord is faithful”, stand out as a contrast between the character of God, and God’s people, and that of the world.
• The psalmist said, “Forever, O Lord, Your word is settled in heaven, Your faithfulness endures to all generations; You established the earth, and it abides” (Psa. 119:89-90)
When God says something, we are assured it will come to pass for the Lord is faithful and by Him we were called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ (1 Cor. 1:9). This is as certain as the creation itself – God Said…
• Yes, “He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it” (1 Thess. 5:24).
• God’s word never fails, will never change, of that we are confident.
• Sadly, this is not true with most people of His creation.
• Solomon wrote, “Most men will proclaim each his own goodness, but who can find a faithful man?” (Prov. 20:6). The following three things are essential traits that God’s children must put on if they are to be faithful…
- Absolute Honesty!
- Complete Dependency on God!
- Unwavering Loyalty!
