“If we are faithless, He remains faithful; He cannot deny
Himself.”
This is the fourth part of the four difficult or trustworthy
statements. This is the verse that to me makes the other three not so
difficult. What can we say about this verse other than to praise our God? If we are faithless He is faithful. That if
is really a since. Since we are faithless He is faithful.
None of us are
perfect we all fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3.23). We are all
faithless at some point in our Christian walk. We have doubts.
He remains faithful.
In spite of our sins, doubts, and willful disobedience God is faithful.
This is not a license to sin but it is an assurance that God is not fickle like
we can be. We get resentful, hold a grudge and get vindictive towards others
that wrong us. He remains faithful though. He does not hold a grudge against us
or get resentful or vindictive. God loves the unlovable.
You can trust God because He loves you or you can trust him
because He cannot lie. He cannot deny Himself. There has never been a time in
my life that God has let me down. I may have thought He did but He did
not.
Hindsight is always 20/20. We look
in the past and see that God was there all the time. He had a better plan for
us they we did for ourselves. He is faithful to us because He cannot deny His
own name. He promised those who believe
in Him that He would be there for them. He cannot lie.
How does this make you feel?
Does it make you want to serve Him more?
We have an awesome God.
