Psalm 100:5 “The Lord is good and
His love endures forever; His
faithfulness continues through all
generations.”

There are some great biblical examples of
faithfulness of people to one another.

There are a lot of great biblical examples of
people’s faithfulness to God.

One of my favorite examples of
faithfulness to God is Paul and Silas singing
in the jail cell at midnight!
![Page 10: THE SPIRIT FRUIT FAITHFULNESS Faithfulness= “trustworthiness” or “steadfast adherence to a person or thing to which one is loyal.”](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051517/5697bf7d1a28abf838c84953/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
How could they do that?
![Page 11: THE SPIRIT FRUIT FAITHFULNESS Faithfulness= “trustworthiness” or “steadfast adherence to a person or thing to which one is loyal.”](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051517/5697bf7d1a28abf838c84953/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Because they had the information about the
Jesus’ promises to help them overcome bad times AND they had
personal revelations of those promises too.
![Page 12: THE SPIRIT FRUIT FAITHFULNESS Faithfulness= “trustworthiness” or “steadfast adherence to a person or thing to which one is loyal.”](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051517/5697bf7d1a28abf838c84953/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
If information alone could change
Christians, then our generation of church goers today would have the greatest
impact of any church of any generation.
![Page 13: THE SPIRIT FRUIT FAITHFULNESS Faithfulness= “trustworthiness” or “steadfast adherence to a person or thing to which one is loyal.”](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051517/5697bf7d1a28abf838c84953/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The problem is that many followers of
Christ don’t have any personal revelation of the promises of Jesus
in their lives.

Hebrews 10:23 “Let's hold on to the
confession of our hope without wavering,
because the one who made the promises is
reliable.”
![Page 16: THE SPIRIT FRUIT FAITHFULNESS Faithfulness= “trustworthiness” or “steadfast adherence to a person or thing to which one is loyal.”](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051517/5697bf7d1a28abf838c84953/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Is that information or revelation in your life?
![Page 17: THE SPIRIT FRUIT FAITHFULNESS Faithfulness= “trustworthiness” or “steadfast adherence to a person or thing to which one is loyal.”](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051517/5697bf7d1a28abf838c84953/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
There is a lack of commitment in our
present day society in ALL areas of life, but
especially in our relationship with God.

2 Timothy 3:1-5
![Page 19: THE SPIRIT FRUIT FAITHFULNESS Faithfulness= “trustworthiness” or “steadfast adherence to a person or thing to which one is loyal.”](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051517/5697bf7d1a28abf838c84953/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Paul book ends 19 characteristics of
people living in the last days with “lovers of
themselves” and “lovers of pleasure
rather than lovers of God.”
![Page 20: THE SPIRIT FRUIT FAITHFULNESS Faithfulness= “trustworthiness” or “steadfast adherence to a person or thing to which one is loyal.”](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051517/5697bf7d1a28abf838c84953/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
In the end faithfulness to God or anyone else
is ALL about love.
![Page 21: THE SPIRIT FRUIT FAITHFULNESS Faithfulness= “trustworthiness” or “steadfast adherence to a person or thing to which one is loyal.”](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051517/5697bf7d1a28abf838c84953/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
One author has said that faithfulness is
“love hanging on.”
![Page 22: THE SPIRIT FRUIT FAITHFULNESS Faithfulness= “trustworthiness” or “steadfast adherence to a person or thing to which one is loyal.”](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051517/5697bf7d1a28abf838c84953/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
“Peter do you love me?”
![Page 23: THE SPIRIT FRUIT FAITHFULNESS Faithfulness= “trustworthiness” or “steadfast adherence to a person or thing to which one is loyal.”](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051517/5697bf7d1a28abf838c84953/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
How do we develop faithfulness?
![Page 24: THE SPIRIT FRUIT FAITHFULNESS Faithfulness= “trustworthiness” or “steadfast adherence to a person or thing to which one is loyal.”](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051517/5697bf7d1a28abf838c84953/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
We will produce the fruit of the Spirit WHEN
we are led by the Spirit.
![Page 25: THE SPIRIT FRUIT FAITHFULNESS Faithfulness= “trustworthiness” or “steadfast adherence to a person or thing to which one is loyal.”](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051517/5697bf7d1a28abf838c84953/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
If we surrender daily to the Spirit then He will lead us to draw close
to Jesus through prayer and Bible study.
![Page 26: THE SPIRIT FRUIT FAITHFULNESS Faithfulness= “trustworthiness” or “steadfast adherence to a person or thing to which one is loyal.”](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051517/5697bf7d1a28abf838c84953/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
That will grow our love for Jesus stronger,
which will in turn grow our commitment
stronger.

Dr. Lewis Sperry Chafer, founder of DTS

He is all-wise and knows better than
anyone else what is best for my life.
![Page 29: THE SPIRIT FRUIT FAITHFULNESS Faithfulness= “trustworthiness” or “steadfast adherence to a person or thing to which one is loyal.”](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051517/5697bf7d1a28abf838c84953/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
He is almighty and has the power to
accomplish that which is best for me.
