The main point of this sermon is to explore and understand God's faithfulness as an inherent attribute and a promise, manifested through His protection, promises, and presence during our pain.
Good morning, church family. I want to encourage you today from the Word of God. Our topic is God's faithfulness. It's about His faithfulness through His promises, His protection, and even during our pain. As we explore this, we'll anchor on the words of 2 Thessalonians 3:3, "But the Lord is faithful. He will establish you and guard you against the evil one."
God's faithfulness is not only an attribute but also a promise. It's not just what He does but who He is. A.W. Tozer once said: "All of God's acts are consistent with all of His attributes. No attribute contradicts any other, but all harmonize and blend into each other in the infinite abyss of the Godhead." God is, indeed, faithful.
Let's bow our heads. Heavenly Father, we thank you for your Word today. We ask that you open our hearts and minds to understand your faithfulness in a new way. May we be encouraged and strengthened, knowing that you are always with us, and your promises are yes and amen. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
God's faithfulness is a foundational truth that we as believers hold dear. It is the bedrock upon which our faith is built, and it is through His promises that we see His faithfulness most clearly. The Bible is filled with promises from God, each one a testament to His unchanging nature and His unwavering commitment to His people.
When we talk about God's faithfulness through His promises, we are talking about something that is both profound and personal. It is profound because it speaks to the very nature of God. He is a promise-keeping God, not because He has to be, but because He chooses to be. This is an aspect of His character that is unchanging and unchangeable. It is personal because these promises are not just for people in general, but for you and me specifically. They are promises that He makes to us as His children, promises that He intends to keep.
One of the most significant promises God makes is the promise of salvation. In John 3:16, we read, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life." This is a promise of eternal life, a promise that is available to all who believe in Jesus. This promise is a testament to God's faithfulness. Despite our sin and our rebellion, God remains faithful. He keeps His promise to save those who put their trust in Him.
Another promise that demonstrates God's faithfulness is the promise of His presence. In Matthew 28:20, Jesus tells His disciples, "And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age." This promise is not just for the disciples but for all believers. No matter what we go through, no matter how difficult or challenging our circumstances may be, God promises to be with us. He does not abandon us or leave us to face our trials alone. His presence is a constant reminder of His faithfulness.
God's promises also extend to our everyday needs. In Philippians 4:19, Paul writes, "And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus." This is a promise of provision, a promise that God will take care of us. It is a promise that we can rely on, especially in times of need. God's faithfulness is not just about the big things, like salvation and His presence, but also about the little things, like our daily needs.
These promises, and many others found in the Bible, are not just words. They are commitments that God makes to His people.
They are assurances we can rely on, not because of who we are, but because of who God is. He is a faithful God, a God who keeps His promises.
God's faithfulness is evident in His divine protection over us ... View this full PRO sermon free with PRO
