FAITHFUL
`Therefore know that the LORD your God, He is God, the faithful God...` (Deut. 7: 9)
Faithful, is to be loyal and trustworthy. And God has shown Himself in many ways to be faithful `who keeps covenant and mercy to a thousand generations.`
The Lord Jesus reveals His faithfulness as -
- the faithful High priest. (Heb. 2: 17)
- the faithful Son to the Father. (Heb. 3: 2)
- the faithful Head of the Body. (2 Thess. 3: 3)
- the faithful forgiver of sins. (1 John 1: 9)
- the faithful witness. (Rev. 1: 5)
The Faithful and True Witness.
`And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write, `These things says the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God.` (Rev. 3: 14)
The words Christ spoke when on earth reveal He is the `faithful and true witness` of God and eternal truths. The words He spoke have not diminished in their authority and authenticity one iota. No one else exists whose words abide the centuries in truth and faithfulness.
The witness of One who is `faithful and true` never wears away with the waning of the years, nor dies down with the decay of worldly dominions. The imperishable charge Christ gave as a challenge to sinners over two thousand years ago is as changeless as His own character-
`Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with me.` (Rev. 3: 20)
His Faithful Message.
In His faithful witness our Lord did not worry over temporal things but testified to eternal truth. In His message to mankind He unveiled the mysteries of God, revealed the treasure of truth, foretold the future of nations and spoke on the questions of life.
The illustrations He used were of the most familiar kind such as catching fish, buying food, patching garments, seeking treasure, losing money, finding sheep and many other everyday events.
When Christ spoke prophetically He spoke mighty in word and wisdom. Nothing He said ever needed to be recalled or corrected.
His testimony to redemption, judgment and the Father`s purpose are wholly faithful and true.
