 God Is Faithful
Faithfulness is the perfection of
HIS essence. It is an essential
quality to HIS being. Without
being faithful, HE would not be
GOD and HE cannot deny
HIMSELF.

Everything about GOD is great,
vast, incomparable. HE never
forgets, never fails, never falters,
never forfeits HIS Word. To
every declaration of promise the
LORD has exactly adhered.
 God Is Faithful
In all HIS relations with HIS
people, GOD is faithful. HE can
be safely relied upon. No one

vain. Faithfulness is an
essential part of the Divine
character.

Psalm 100
1 Shout joyfully to the LORD, all the earth. 2
Serve the LORD with gladness; Come before
Him with joyful singing. 3 Know that the LORD
Himself is God; It is He who has made us, and
not we ourselves; We are His people and the
sheep of His pasture. 4 Enter His gates with
thanksgiving And His courts with praise. Give
thanks to Him, bless His name. 5 For the
LORD is good; His lovingkindness is everlasting
And His faithfulness to all generations.

bring it to pass.
