The weekly journal comprised of notes from the weeks lectures/activities and researching an attribute of god, with biblical references and dictionary definitions. this week I looked at faithful, whether your a christian or not just look at this definition of the word and synonyms and imagine a relationship with god when his love is like this.
Faithful:
strict or thorough in the performance of duty, true to one's word, promises, vows, etc. steady in allegiance or affection; loyal; constant: faithful friends. reliable, trusted, or believed. adhering or true to fact, a standard, or an original.
True, devoted, staunch. Constant, loyal imply qualities of stability, dependability, and devotion. Faithful implies long-continued and steadfast fidelity to whatever one is bound to by a pledge, duty, or obligation: a faithful friend. Constant suggests firmness and steadfastness in attachment: a constant affection. Loyal implies unswerving allegiance to a person. precise, exact.
affectionate, allegiant, attatched, behind one, confiding, devoted, enduring, fast, firm, genuine, honest, incorruptable, loving, reliable, steady, true, unchanging, unswerving. (dictionary.com thesaurus)
The bible tells us gods love and faithfullness are demonstrated by loving thousands, forgiving their wickedness, rebellion and sin (exodus 34 v6-7) isnt that mindblowing! that faithfullness described above is gods love even when we sin, even when we are rebellious, gods love is unchanging it doesnt dent, it doesnt retract or shut down, it doesnt self proctect or leave.
