Faithfulness Is A Good Thing

eDevotion

Encouragement for your daily walk with God

This should be a simple test for any Christ follower. Which statement would you prefer to be said about you?

a) He/She is nothing but a quitter

b) You can count on him/her

a) He/She is a back-stabber

b) He/She will never let you down

a) He/She would betray his/her Mother for a few bucks

b) He/She is a stand-up guy/girl

OK, did you answer “b” to all the questions? Of course you did! But why? Is it because we instinctively know that unfaithfulness, disloyalty, betrayal, and unreliability are a bad thing? Stated positively, we know that faithfulness is a good thing.

In all of my studies, I haven’t found a single civilization that considered unfaithfulness a good thing—none! That’s because faithfulness is a godly virtue. Faithfulness is good, and unfaithfulness is not. But, you knew that already, didn’t you?

A Christ follower must be faithful. I’d like to think this could be said of every Christ follower, “Dear friend, you are faithful in what you are doing…” (3rd John 5 NIV).

[Jesus] was faithful to God, who appointed Him, just as Moses served faithfully and was entrusted with God’s entire house. Hebrews 3:2
