The Fruit of the Holy Spirit – What is faithfulness?
Faithfulness has two different meanings. If we mean the faithfulness of God or Jesus, it refers to steadfastness, honesty, firmness, and God's utter dependability based on His unchanging character. If we mean human faithfulness, it refers to our steady allegiance to God and our trust in Him. A "faithful" man is "full of faith"; he believes in the reality of God as revealed in Scripture.
Faithfulness is part of the fruit of the Holy Spirit it is created within us when we allow the Spirit to work in us. Not only does the Spirit induce us to be faithful, He explains why we should be faithful.says that the Spirit discloses Jesus' character to the world. the bible says that the Spirit testifies that Jesus is the Savior.
If we are full of faithfulness, we believe God; we trust that He always has our best interests at heart. We trust that we are ultimately safe. We believe that He loves us. He wants to be with us. He is powerful enough to save us, and He is working in us. And we live with the confidence that we will receive God's promised blessings, even if we never see them in this lifetime
The nine graces or fruit of the Spirit can be divided into three groups for ease of study and consideration. Love, joy, peace reflect our relations to God. Patience, kindness, goodness can be seen in our relations to others. Faithfulness, gentleness, self-control are indicative of the regulation and conduct of our own individual Christian lives.
Do you trust God completely?
So much so that you live accordingly—to the point that He is able to trust you?
When Jesus Christ returns, wouldn't it be wonderful to hear Him say
approvingly, "Well done, good and faithful servant"?
