The Fruits of the Spirit
The
Bible Says:
-
- "Know
therefore that the LORD your God is God:
- he
is the faithful God, keeping his covenant
- of
love to a thousand generations of those
- who
love him and keep His commands."
- Deuteronomy
7:9
Fruits
of the Spirit
Faithfulness
- we need faithful friends
-
- God
is Faithful. Faithfulness is a part of God's character. Because
He loves you, you can know He will never leave you. He gives
you strength and helps you when you are in trouble. He surrounds
you with a hedge of protection. He is faithful to bring joy and
peace to your heart. He loves you no matter who you are or what
you have done. He is our all knowing, always present, all powerful
God!
- God
is faithful. What He says, He will do!
- "The
One who has chosen you is faithful.
- He
will do all these things."
- 2Thessalonians
5:24
-
- Jesus
was faithful to do what His Father ask Him to do. Because He
was faithful at Calvary, we can know God. God wants us to call
Him "Aba Father," which is the same as saying "Daddy."
When we know God this way, there is another gift He gives to
us. Faithfulness is one of the Fruits of the Spirit. We can use
the gift of faithfulness to help our family and friends. We can
also use this gift to be faithful to God and tell others about
His great love.

The
trip home from the ski adventure was not so good for Cami Cub.
She tripped on a rock and injured her foot. She needs her friends
to help her get home. Cami Cub is always a caring and faithful
friend. She is quick to love others with God's agape love. Her
Critter friends have brought her to the safety of the Kid Cave.
Gramma's Critters are faithful in their love for each other.
A
friend who can be trusted is a faithful friend. If a friend always
does what he says he will do, he is a faithful friend. We all
count on God to do what He says he will do. We can trust God.
We must not forget that God wants to count on us too! We need
to be faithful to God. He needs our obedience, our praise and
our unconditional love. He gave it, so we might live it!
