REWARDS Of FAITHFULNESS
Faithfulness is one of the most beautiful and important attributes in the Christian life--- both as a character of God and as a fruit of the Spirit in us.
Meaning of Faithfulness
Being steady, trustworthy, and loyal--- staying true to God, to His Word, and to what is right, no matter what happens.
Faithfulness comes from the word faith--- which means trust or belief.
So, faithfulness is showing your faith through consistent obedience and loyalty.
In Galatians 5:22, faithfulness is listed as a fruit of the Spirit.
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness..... "
This means faithfulness comes in a believer's life through the work of the Holy Spirit. It's a sign that Christ is alive in you.
The Bible describes God as faithful.
In Psalm 145:13, it says, "The Lord is faithful to all His promises and loving toward all He has made."
You can read that again.
In 2 Timothy 2:13, it says, " If we are faithless, He remains faithful."
This also means that God never fails, never changes, and always keeps His word.
God is completely trustworthy. Hallelujah!
Our Faithfulness to God
Being faithful to God means:
√ Obeying Him even when it's hard.
√ Trusting Him even when you can't understand.
√ Walking with Him even when you can't see the end of the road.
√ Remaining devoted and consistently committed to Him even in trials.
Faithfulness keeps you going where others are falling apart. It's consistency in love and obedience over time--- not just one moment of passion.
Abraham trusted God even when he didn't see how the promise made to him could happen. Romans 4:17-24
Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-Nego stayed true to God and their faith even when threatened. Daniel 3; 6
Jesus the Christ, our Lord and Saviour is a perfect example of faithfulness. He was perfectly faithful to the Father even to death on the Cross. Hebrew 3:1-6
Reward of Faithfulness
The rewards of faithfulness are both earthly and eternal. On earth, God gives favour, peace and increase to those who remain true. In eternity, He promises crowns of glory and everlasting joy in His presence. Matthew 25:21, 1 Peter 5:4
Faithfulness may not always being quick recognition, but it always brings lasting reward.
Your labour of love is going to be rewarded.
Anyone who walks faithfully before God can be rest assured that nothing done in love for Him is ever in vain.
"For He who promised is faithful." Hebrew 10:23
This prayer is for you.
Lord, I thank You for being faithful to reward those who walk with You. Keep me steadfast, trusting that my labour in You is never wasted. Glory be to your name. Amen.
