And I am sure that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on that day when Christ Jesus comes back again.

I pray that your love for each other will overflow more and more, and that you will keep on growing in your knowledge and understanding. For I want you to understand what really matters, so that you may live pure and blameless lives until Christ returns. May you always be filled with the fruit of your salvation — those good things that are produced in your life by Jesus Christ — for this will bring much glory and praise to God. (Philippians 1:6, 9-11 )

    As the Holy Spirit says, “The Lord is faithful; he will make you strong and guard you from the evil one.” (2 Thessalonians 3:3)

Just as God is faithful to us, we are to be faithful to Him.

    Just as God is faithful to us, we are to be faithful to Him. When we’re tempted, afraid or rejoicing... we are to be faithful to Him. through the generations, through the centuries, through the rebellion and the repentance, God has been faithful to His people and to His promises. We learn what faithfulness is from Him. Once again, the source of our faithfulness is identified in Scripture: we do not produce it in our lives, God demonstrates, inspires, empowers, and produces faithfulness in us. The Holy Spirit brings it forth in our character. Jesus demonstrates and enables it in us. Our faithfulness to God and to each other is a response to God who has so graciously been faithful to us even when we have not been faithful to Him.

    May God find us faithful!

For if we are faithful to the end, trusting God just as firmly as when we first believed, we will share in all that belongs to Christ. (Hebrews 3:14)
