Today was the first week after the church surf with the Christian Union at Plymouth University and I decided to go to Plymouth Christian Centre with Erin.
The talk today was about the faithfulness of God and the idea that without faithfulness could we be happy. the meaning of this is that we focus too much on our selves through thinking that when something in our life goes wrong we might think that God has taken their ability away their truly haven't grasped the faithfulness of God.
There are 3 ways in which faithfulness is shown:
- The Bible declares it
- The Bible demonstrates it
- We experience it
"Your word, O Lord, will last for ever; it is eternal in heaven. Your faithfulness endures through all the ages"This declares that the Lord's word therefore God's word is to be trusted.
2 Timothy 2:13
"If we are not faithful, he mains faithful, because he cannot be false to himself."
This shows that it doesn't depend on our perfection because God's faithfulness is unconditional like his love.
Adam and Eve made a choice not to walk in the relationship of God and many people agree about if God was all-loving his should have just forgiven them and said 'that's ok', but if there where no boundaries then Heaven would been like Earth with all this pain and suffering and there would be no place free and without fear. God doesn't give up on you and will never forget you. He will redeem you and his love will never change.
We need to have a personal relationship with God through experiencing God as he touches our lives. For example setting us free from struggles as well as through prayer. We need to remember that it is a privilege to be fathered by God who and be reminded in the dark times of his faithfulness. He is the light that will free us from the dark time. There is therefore no need to fear.
At church we sang a new song 'No longer slaves'(which inspired me and felt close to my heard delivering the message that we should not fear because God is always with us.
