If we are faithless, He remains Faithful, for he is not able to deny Himself.
To be faithless is to not believe God, to deny God as God. But God cannot deny Himself, for God is not a man that He should lie about Himself (Numbers 23:19; 1 Samuel 15:29; Titus 1:2).
God keeps His promises. All other gods are made up from the imaginations of evil men but God is GOD: always has been, is even now and always will be. God is not a fickle God, changing His mind on a whim just to make things unpleasant for people.
His laws and precepts within His Word are unchanging, remaining the same. As His Word was in the beginning, so, too, it will be in the end. For His Word is The Beginning and The End. (Revelation 1:8; Isaiah 41:4)
The promises of God are Faithful and True, Yes and Amen. (Revelation 19:11; 2 Corinthians 1:20). The promises of God to His people come by their faith in God, to trust God at all times in all circumstances: we are the people of faith in God; we are the seed of Abraham. Hebrews 4:13 For the promise to Abraham and his offspring that he would be heir of the world was not given through the law, but through the righteousness that comes by faith. (Romans 9:8).
The promises of God are many. According to BibleInfo.com there are over 3500 promises given by God in The Scriptures. And all these promises of God are TRUE and FAITHFUL promises. While many are still ongoing, all are fulfilled in Christ. 2 Corinthians 1:19, 20 "For The Son of God, Jesus Christ, Who was preached among you by us, by me, Silvanus, and Timothy, was not “Yes” and “No,” but has proved to be “Yes” in Him [True and Faithful, the divine “Yes” affirming God’s promises]. For as many as are the promises of God, in Christ they are [all answered] “Yes.” So through Him we say our “Amen” to the glory of God."
What God promises to one He promises to all. In The Book of Deuteronomy in The Old Testament (Deuteronomy 28) God outlines who receives His blessings and who receives His cursings. That has not changed. While some of God's blessings are for all, such as rain, only those who remain faithful to God will receive all of His blessings. And they who remain in denial of God, who refuse to believe that GOD IS, will most definitely receive all of His curses.
As people of faith, it is our obligation therefore to reach as many people as we can and tell them by our words and our actions of the change which God has wrought in us through the death and resurrection of His only begotten Son Jesus Christ. We are duty-bound, for we have died with Him and are resurrected with Him: we are a new creation in Christ. That old sinful, sinfilled life we used to live we live no longer. Now we live in Christ and Christ lives in us.
We're reaching into the fire (Jude 1:23), we're shining the light of Christ in us into the darkness of this world (Matthew 5:16), that men and women, boys and girls, everywhere may know the LOVE of GOD is in The Promises of God, the Faithfulness of God.
