DAD'S RAMBLINGS – God Is Faithful
Romans 3:1-4
"What advantage then has a Jew, or what is the profit of circumcision? Much in every way! Chiefly because to them were committed the oracles of God. For what if some did not believe? Will their unbelief make the faithfulness of God without effect? Certainly not! Indeed, let God be true and every man a liar."
To the Jews were committed the Word of God and Old Covenant. Just because the Jews violated God's law and forsook Him did not change God. He remained faithful to His covenant. To Believers, God has entrusted the New Covenant – salvation through the shed blood of Jesus on the cross. My faith does not stand or fall on whether I or other Christians fail to live up to the covenant. It is based squarely on what Jesus did and promised, because even though humans fail, Jesus never fails. "This is a faithful saying...If we are faithless, He remains faithful; He cannot deny Himself" (II Timothy 2:11a, 13).
TODAY'S THOUGHT: God's faithfulness is not contingent on man's faith or obedience, but solely on God's character.
Have a "faithful" day. Love you.
