Faithful Scriptures

The Bible is the authority for all truth and is one of the primary ways God communicates with us. Yesterday, we explored God’s faithfulness, and today we’d like to invite you to take some time to explore many Scriptures that highlight how He has been faithful throughout the generations.

The Bible records in 2 Corinthians 5:7 that we ought to walk by faith and not by sight. Despite the evolving and unstable seasons that life brings, we should put our trust in God and not our own strength, for God’s faithfulness remains steadfast.

God’s track record of faithfulness is evident throughout the Bible. He was faithful to Abraham and Sarah (Genesis 21:1-7); to the descendants of Esau (Genesis 36:40-43); to Moses and the Israelites (Exodus 19:5); to Isaiah and other prophets about the coming of the Messiah (Isaiah 9:6-7).

There are many wonderful Scriptures that reveal God’s faithfulness in many areas of our lives, but what stands out most is His faithfulness to forgive our iniquities (Micah 7:18-19; Romans 11:25-27; 1 John 1:9).

As Christians, we need to commit ourselves to study the Word of God and trusting Him for all His promises to us. Are you going through any hardship? Trust God in all your ways because He is faithful in keeping His word. In Jeremiah 1:12, God says: “for I am alert and active, watching over My word to perform it.”

Below are Scriptures that highlight the faithfulness of God. Please read each one slowly. As you read, pray and ask the Lord to make the truth of the passage real to you.
