IMPORTANCE OF FAITHFULNESS.
There are Christians who go to great Churches and are even born again, but who are not faithful to the Lord they go to Church for to worship.
One of the key elements of the Christian faith is FAITHFULNESS first to the Lord and to others and groupings He attaches you to.
The Christian's faithful disposition confirms Christ in his or her life. It brings glory to the Lord Jesus and to His Father. Because of this, he or she can be trusted by others.
Jesus taught us His own faithfulness to His Father by this scripture:
"29 And He that sent Me is with Me: the Father hath not left Me alone; for I do always those things that please Him."
JOHN 8:29
Our faithfulness to Christ confirms our obedience to Him and His Father. The level of our faithfulness confirms the extent of our obedience to Him.
These two concepts determines to what extent God will bless us.
Failure in these concepts, I believe is why Christ said in the time of judgement, He will tell some people or Christians to depart from Him.
22 And He went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem.
23 Then said one unto Him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And He said unto them,
24 Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.
25 When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are:
26 Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy Presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.
27 But He shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from Me, all ye workers of iniquity.
28 There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out."
LUKE 13:22-28
It is unfortunate that many Christians including Pastors and Pastors wives and heads in Christian Ministries will be caught in this dilemma.
Take heed therefore to amend your ways NOW.
