His mercy, care and love last through every generation.
Human Faithfulness
People are asked to stay loyal to God and be kind to others.
This week's theme
Faithfulness
Proverbs 3: 3 - 4:
Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart: So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
Deuteronomy 7: 9:
Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations.
Matthew 25: 21:
His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
1 Corinthians 4: 2:
Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.
2 Timothy 2: 13:
If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.
Revelation 2: 10:
Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.
Conclusion
It is noteworthy that Faithfulness is a virtue listed in the Fruit of the Spirit (refer to Galatians 5: 22 - 23). Now, since Faithfulness is a “Fruit of the Spirit”, true Biblical Faithfulness cannot be achieved by human efforts alone. Humans need the in-working of the Holy Spirit which is possible as they follow God.
