GOD IS FAITHFUL

Greetings to this great community, welcome to my blog, it's been a while now since I posted my Bible study. But today is blessed day for all those who believe in Christ Jesus.



Let me take some reading from the book of **(DEUT 7:9) says, "Know therefore that the LORD your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commands".

God is ever so true. He keeps to His end of the bargain. The Bible says, “If we are faithless, He remains faithful— for He cannot deny himself.” 2 Timothy 2: 13

As with all of God's attributes, they are not separate, isolated traits, but interconnected parts of His perfect whole being. So His faithfulness cannot be understood apart from His immutability, the fact that He never changes. So when we read that God remains faithful, for he cannot deny himself, we see these his attributes working together. The fact that he is unchanging means he can never not be faithful.

God is true. His Word of Promise is sure. In all His relations with His people, God is faithful. He may be safely relied upon. No one ever yet really trusted Him in vain. We find this precious truth expressed almost everywhere in the Scriptures, for His people need to know that faithfulness is an essential part of the Divine character.
This is the basis of our confidence in Him.”

The fact that God is infinitely, unchangingly faithful means that He never forgets anything, never fails to do anything He has set out to do, never changes His mind or takes back a promise. And His faithfulness pours out from His love, so we can trust Paul's word that “in all things God works for the good of those who love Him.”

Of course, we don't always understand or see how His plan is faithful. In our limited understanding and finite minds, God's faithfulness might look a lot like abandonment. For how could a faithful God allow his children to suffer, to hurt, to die? But Christians can take comfort in these moments by remembering these attributes of God, for when we go through hard times, we know that God is nevertheless unchangingly faithful, good, always with us and wise.
Faithfully trusting in who God says he is a great comfort. **"For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known.”1 Corinthians 13: 12 **.
