The foundation of our salvation

God is faithful. (1 Corinthians 1:9a)

Think about those words for a minute.

God is faithful.

If there is one reason that our salvation is sure, it’s those three words:

God is faithful.

Through his great love, he called us into fellowship with his Son. (9b)

By his grace, he sanctified us. He called us as his saints. (2)

And because of his faithfulness, he will strengthen us to the end so that we will stand blameless before him on judgment day. (8)

I’m so glad my salvation doesn’t depend on my faithfulness. Because there are so many times I am unfaithful.

But as Paul wrote Timothy,

if we are faithless, he remains faithful,
for he cannot deny himself. (2 Timothy 2:13)

So if you’re ever feeling down on yourself for your faithlessness to him, remember those three little words:

God is faithful.
