A Faithful God

 Many times in the Bible, we read about God's faithfulness. What does the word 'faithful' mean? Here are some meanings I've found and some verses which prove God's faithfulness.

1. Remaining loyal and steadfast
...for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.” Hebrews 13:5

2. The quality of being true to one's word or commitments
God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good? Numbers 23:19

3. Continuing to support someone or be their friend, even in a difficult situation
If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful— for he cannot deny himself. 2 Timothy 2:13

4. Someone who is reliable and consistent
Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.  
Hebrews 13:8 

5. Able to be trusted or relied on.
Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Psalms 62:8

Thinking about God's faithfulness can help us to trust Him and His Word. And to go a step further, are you faithful?
