Faithfulness 1

Hello Everyone,

 Read with me:

Galatians 5:22                                                                                   

 ²² But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

²³ Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

Faith, as it appears in the King James Version of Galatians 5:22, includes the concepts of faithfulness and obedience.

Faithfulness is both an attitude and an action shown toward God and toward others.

The nine characteristics of the fruit of the Spirit can be divided into three groups to make study a little easier.

1.   Love, joy, peace reflect our relations to God.

2.   Patience, kindness, goodness can be seen in our relations to others.

3.   Faithfulness, gentleness, self-control are found in the conduct of our own individual Christian lives.

In Galatians 5 the focus is on the concept of trustworthiness, trustfulness, and reliability.

Trustworthiness of Our Example

2 Timothy 2:2 “Teach these great truths to trustworthy men who will, in turn, pass them on to others” (Living Bible).

The characteristic of faithfulness needs to be cultivated.
