The Fruit of the Spirit Is Faithfulness
| LESSON 8 | *February 13 - 19 |
| The Fruit of the Spirit Is Faithfulness |  |
Read for This Week's Study:
Memory Text:
| "And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart" (Galatians 6:9, NKJV). |
| | The fruit of the Spirit known as "faithfulness" could also be called "fidelity." It speaks of endurance, a firmness of purpose, especially when the going is tough. Faithfulness implies steadfast adherence. Synonyms include loyalty, implying undeviating allegiance; constancy, suggesting freedom from uncertainty; staunchness, implying such a strong allegiance to one's principles or purposes that they cannot be turned aside; andresoluteness, stressing unwavering determination.
"Faith" and "faithfulness," though closely linked, are not the same thing. Faith is that indefinable power, a gift from God, through which we can believe in a reality that yet remains unseen. "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen" (Heb. 11:1). Faithfulness, in contrast, is the working out of this inner-belief system. When we have faith in God, we act in faithful ways. Acts of faithfulness are a demonstration of our faith, and such acts are the threads holding our belief and behavior system together. |
