It is a quality of life, but we don’t have to be manipulated to be faithful.
1 Corinthians 10 verse 13: Tells us: God is faithful.
Faithfulness is a God quality, which we need to walk in.
Galatians 5 v 22; Tells us it is a Fruit of the Spirit.
Faithfulness is one of the Fruits of the Spirit, we need to grow in.
Commitment should bring faithfulness. Alas in the world, when people grow tired of things, their commitment and faithfulness wains, but we are people that belong to His Kingdom, where His standards are higher, and the fruits can’t grow in anything less.
2 Timothy 4 verse 1 to 5: Fulfill Your Ministry:
V4: “Before God and Christ Jesus, Who is going to judge the living and the dead, and by His appearing and His Kingdom, I solemnly charge you”,
V2: proclaim the message; persist whether convenient or not; rebuke, correct, and encourage with great patience and teaching”.
V3: “For the time will come when they will not tolerate sound doctrine, but according to their desires, will accumulate teachers for themselves because they have an itch to hear something new”.
V4: “They will turn away from hearing the truth and will turn aside to myths”.
V5: “But as for you keep a clear head about everything, endure hardship, so the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry”.
The Apostle Paul, is telling us to remain faithful, because faithfulness will triumph in the end.
God Bless.

So true. our faithfulness flows from the faithfulness of God planted in us and nurtured with the Spirit of Christ. On our part, we need to continue to work in harmony with the Spirit.
