What does it mean that God is faithful?
God’s faithfulness means he always keeps his promises and never changes — you can rely on him completely, because his character does not waver with our circumstances or even our failures.
Scripture celebrates God’s faithfulness everywhere: “Great is your faithfulness,” Lamentations says — his mercies “are new every morning.”
God’s faithfulness is anchored in his unchanging nature: “If we are faithless, he remains faithful, for he cannot disown himself” (2 Timothy 2:13). His promises are as sure as he is.
This is the bedrock of Christian hope. Whatever changes around you, the One who began a good work in you “will carry it on to completion.” He will not let go.
