Faithfulness and Loyalty
Faithfulness and loyalty are fleeting character traits these days. People say their vows, and, in some cases, they never intend on keeping them. They are just words to be repeated but hold no promise or commitment. At the first sign of trouble they throw in the towel on the relationship. This is not how it was meant to be.
Our marriages are meant to show the love Christ has for His bride—the husband leading the wife and loving her unconditionally and the wife submitting to her husband by respecting and honoring him. It is a commitment between one man and one woman. You are saying you choose this one person to spend your life together.
If you go back to the Old Testament you will see where God chose the children of Israel to be His people. God chose them just like we choose the person we marry, and then He spoke a vow over them that He would never leave them or forsake them. Basically, it was a marriage ceremony. He made a vow to be faithful and loyal.
Ever since He made that covenant with her, He has been doing everything with the intention of drawing His bride to Himself. Even when she was acting a fool. He never left her. He never picked another bride. He remained and still remains faithful to her. That’s some amazing love.
That is also some great news for us. When we get saved, we become a part of this beautiful love story. We become the bride of Christ which means His faithfulness is now extended to us. He has never walked away from His bride, which means He will never walk away from us!
So, what should we do with this great loyalty and faithfulness we have been given? We should show great loyalty and faithfulness to our spouse. Our spouses should know we are committed to them. We are not going to walk away or give up at the first sign of trouble. We will fight for them and our marriages!
By remaining faithful and loyal to our spouses we are showing them the love of the Father. We are showing them they are the one for us. The only one!
