Our God is a God of faithfulness –what a beautiful promise of God’s character remaining absolutely faultless, just, and faithful.

2. Joshua 21:45 Not one of all the Lord’s good promises to Israel failed; every one was fulfilled.

4. Psalm 36:5 Your love, Lord, reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the skies.

God’s faithfulness is immeasurable. As a human being it’s hard to even wrap our mind around how extensive God’s faithfulness is to His beloved children.

5. Psalm 40:10-11I have not hidden your deliverance within my heart; I have spoken of your faithfulness and your salvation;I have not concealed your steadfast love and your faithfulness from the great congregation.Do not withhold your mercy from me, Lord; may your love and faithfulness always protect me.

Revelation 19:11 I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and wages war.

The name Jesus calls himself at the end of time is Faithful and True. It’s not just a moniker–it’s who God is to the core of his being. He has always been faithful, true, and trustworthy.

5 Examples of God Being Faithfulness in the Bible through Stories

Individual verses are great at conveying how faithful God is, but you may also want to check out these stories to see how God was uniquely trustworthy in these real people’s lives.

Abraham and Sarah in Genesis 17 and 21

God promised Abraham and Sarah a son, but as month after month passed–Abraham and Sarah took matters into their own hands and still God upheld his promise to them. He would give them a biological son. It seemed impossible because now they were both so old. But God’s promise proved true and the son of promise, Isaac was born.

To Israel in Leading them out of Egypt to the Promised Land

In the books of Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy and Joshua we find the massive story of God leading Israel from slavery to the “land flowing with milk and honey” promised to their forefathers. Along the way Israel doubts God’s love and promise-keeping ability. They fail once to trust Him and enter into the promised land, but then after faithfully sustaining them in the wilderness for 40 years God brings a new generation (with hearts willing to follow Him faithfully) to conquer and settle in the land of promise. 

Job in the book of Job

Job is the story of one man’s tragic loss of riches, family, and health. Job is faithful to God–never disowning his faith, living surrendered to the will of God– even as he questions his loss and hardship. In return God is faithful to Job–restoring his view of God, his relationships, and his blessings.

The Parable of the Lost Son in Luke 15

Like the Father in the story who waited on his lost, unfaithful son to return home, God is faithfully waiting for us when we turn from our wasteful living and come home. The son’s dishonor never changed the way the father felt about him–he was overcome with love and joy at his return and was faithful to restore him to his place of sonship.

The Life of Paul in Acts

Paul is a faithful servant of Jesus after he meets Jesus on the Damascus road. Eventually he becomes a missionary to the non-Jewish world, traveling to Asia minor and even Rome to testify of Jesus saving work as the Rescuer of mankind. God faithfully upheld Paul in his ministry, travels, trials, loss and victories. Pauls writings often mention God’s faithfulness which them compels his people to be faithful to God and engage in faithful relationships with one another.
