FAITH. FAITHFUL. FAITHFULNESS.

Hebrews 11:6
And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him.


The life of faith, it is said, comprises at least three essential components. Firstly, it demands a sincere approach to God, a fervent seeking of His presence. Secondly, it necessitates a firm belief in the existence of God. Lastly, it instills confidence in the belief that God will reward those who express such faith.

I have mentioned before that when I first arrived at my new church home, I felt lost and adrift in a sea of turmoil and desperation. However, the one thing that kept me going was my faith in God. I believed that He would guide me to a place where I could worship and connect with fellow Christians. I had faith that He would save me from myself.

Hebrews 11:1
Faith shows the reality of what we hope for, it is the evidence of things we cannot see.


FAITH
My faith guided me to my current position, a place I never anticipated when I first entered those doors. Today, I sit before a group of people every week, sharing my words and thoughts, and most importantly, sharing God’s words with you. It fills my heart with joy to hear your thoughts and share your experiences on the subjects I present to you.

FAITHFUL
Faithful believers remain loyal and trust in God, even during challenging times. They follow his commandments and stay steadfast in their faith. Living a life that reflects your faith involves being faithful in your relationships and consistent in your actions. This can include participating in your community or attending your Bible study group. You can also demonstrate faithfulness at work also by being reliable and performing your job to the best of your abilities.

FAITHFULNESS
God’s faithfulness was his unwavering commitment to keeping promises and his enduring love for his people. He was completely reliable and true to his word, and his faithfulness was the foundation of his trust. His promises are eternal.

For us, faithfulness means trusting and loving God through all of life’s ups and downs, including the difficult times when things get ugly before they get better. It means being loyal, committed, and devoted to our family, friends, and loved ones, no matter what.

Faithfulness is another one of those Fruits of the Spirit—a characteristic that develops through the Holy Spirit’s work in our lives. And as we all know, we are all works in progress. I’m a firm believer that God isn’t finished with me yet. I still have work to do, for myself and for others.

Psalm 36:5
Your unfailing love, O Lord, is as vast as the heavens; your faithfulness reaches beyond the clouds.
