Faithfulness is not a gift that comes on you, it is a character. This means you can choose either to be faithful or unfaithful. A person who is described as faithful is someone: Who has unswerving adherence to a person or a thing. Who has a firm resistance to temptation, to desert or betray. Who is impervious to influences that will weaken his resolve and defends the cause that he stands for. Why should we be faithful? Man is a spirit and is in the class of God. God’s plan for man from the beginning was for man to have God’s attributes and characteristics, and for man to live on the earth like God. That was God’s plan before the fall of Adam in the Garden of Eden, when Adam was unfaithful and lost his fellowship with God. In Christ Jesus, our fellowship with God was restored and we were brought to a higher class of fellowship as life giving spirits (1 Cor 15 v 45 NIV). God has deposited himself in us and He expects to see His character in us. The character of God is built in us through His Word and the Word of God is given to us to create in us and for us, the qualities of deity. We are truly born of God and have the same nature with Him. We should therefore consider being faithful because the Bible says that God is faithful; faithfulness is part of God’s personality and nature. Faithfulness is from God and of God. If God wasn’t faithful, then we shouldn’t consider being faithful.
