God Is Faithful

No matter what we have done, God is faithful. He is the one true constant that never changes. His love for us is unconditional. He created us in His image and gave us free will to choose whether to love Him or not. When we are obedient to God, we are saying to Him, we love You and will follow You. This is why when we believe in God’s Son, Jesus Christ and what he did for us on the cross, we have the opportunity to start a new life. By acknowledging that Christ died on the cross to atone for all of our sins, we are made clean or new again when we believe in Jesus.

Those who do not have a relationship with God suffer in silence. They feel hopeless about their circumstances, abandoned and even unworthy because they have never known the love of God. When we put our faith in Jesus, we are not alone. God sends His Holy Spirit to be with us and to guide us because He knows what is best for us. His Spirit is always in agreement with what the bible says because scripture comes from God. 

The bible is our guide to living a Christian abundant life; no matter what problems we encounter, the solutions are found in the bible. For “all Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.” (2 Timothy 3:16-17, NIV) Whether you are having a problem in your marriage, or with your finances, or are suffering in some way, God knows exactly what you are going through and provides counsel through Scripture in every aspect of our lives. 

God wants each and every one of us to live a life full of love but because He gave us free will, evil exists. The devil knows our weaknesses and will try to tempt us with worldly things but those who have a solid foundation in Christ’s teachings will not be tempted. By following the teachings in the bible, we can live a life full of love and serve as a blessing to others. God shows His love through people by having them serve in different ways. Whether you are compelled to help out at a local food bank, or to advocate for community programs to empower the poor, or to listen and give a stranger much needed encouragement, God is calling all of us to help others in whatever capacity we can as He wants everyone to know His love. When we put our faith in Jesus and are righteous in all that we do, God blesses our lives abundantly.
