Faithfulness (The Fruit of the Spirit in You)

Faithfulness                                                                            Day 77

That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

Romans 10:9

Children often repeat the familiar refrain, “sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” As they grow older, they eventually learn how false this statement is. They learn that words do indeed have the power to love, injure, destroy, and also to create. The power of words can also be used in revealing the fruit of the Holy Spirit living in us. For when we use our words to reveal our faithfulness, we have access to the power of saving grace.

In 1919, A.B. Kendall described how “it takes only a few brief words to enter the married life; but . . . We enter the Christian life by faith in Christ and by confessing Him as Lord and Master of our lives.” Our faithfulness and the sincerity of our confessions are typically evidenced by a life of commitment. However, it all begins with a simple admission.

Let us be unafraid to admit that Jesus is Lord. Let us have confidence in sharing our faith in the completeness of God as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Let us be willing to show the fruit of our faith in our faithfulness to Him and His Word.
