“Even When We Are Faithless, God Remains Faithful”

2 Timothy 2:13-15

Faithless is defined as not trustworthy; unreliable; disloyal; deceitful; dishonest; unfaithful.

God's grace is still faithful even though we continue to sin. The Apostle Paul reminds us that even “If we are faithless, He remains faithful, for He cannot disown Himself.”  God is always working in our lives, but if we don’t spend time tuning our hearts to His voice, we will miss when He speaks. Want to grow closer to God? Be consistent. In James 4:8 it says, “Come near to God and He will come near to you." Are we as close to God as we want to be? If not, are we faithful? Are we consistent in our relationship with Him? Consistency is not found in how much of the bible we can read or recite, but in the commitment to spend time in God’s word and in His presence on a regular basis. Paul tells us that the Word of God is never bound, and therefore even when his body lay weak in prison, God can save His people. As he instructs young Timothy to be a good soldier for Christ, to pass the torch of faithful teaching to faithful men who will teach others, and to stay the course like a farmer who knows the reward of patience, he reminds him to look to Jesus as the ultimate motivation and hope. We’re all going to fail. Be reminded that Jesus is the faithful One. His faithfulness remains through our weaknesses. We live because He died. We persevere because He endured the cross. We do our best to live as faith-filled people. We seek to grow in obedience and surrender. But our task is to lean fully on His remaining-faithfulness and allow that to be our greatest strength.

I come by this morning to let you know we must lean completely on our perfect Savior who in every way remains faithful. Jesus keeps us afloat in our midst of mistakes and shortcomings. When we’re unable to hang on it is God who hangs on to us. Amen!!! Be bless and I love you!!! JE
