GOD SHOWS HIS FAITHFULNESS

PSALM 51 ; LAMENTATIONS 3 ; MATTHEW 1-2

God is faithful to keep His Word, demonstrated most of all in the fulfillment

of His promise to provide Jesus Christ.

When Moses brought the Israelites out of Egypt, God led the way and won

the victory because God is always faithful to His people - He keeps His

promises. We can see this truth throughout the Bible and throughout 

history. What He says is true, and what He says He will do, He will do.

The Bible consists of stories of God's faithfulness even when things 

looked bleak.  Though at times God's people thought He abandoned them,

God was still there. He is always there working on behalf of His people,

ultimately so the Savior, the Messiah, will restore His people from their

brokenness.

Points to consider:

✞   God is faithful to love the afflicted.

     * What are some ways you have seen God's faithful

        love in your life when you were struggling?

✞   God is faithful to provide the Messiah.

     * What are some ways we can worship the Messiah?

✞   God is faithful to forgive the repentant.

     * What does it mean to have a repentant heart?

     * Knowing that God is faithful to fulfill His promises

        and faithful to forgive us when we repent, how

        should we live?
