Jesus, by giving His perfect life as a payment for ours, so we may live eternally with Him in heaven, showed the true meaning of sacrifice and love. Now we as Christians must show the world the love we have been given, no matter the opposition we face. We must all be Lions of God. Jesus said, "I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to Father except through Me." We can be the first glimpse of light, leading our peers, our family members, our enemies towards the true Light.

Faithfulness To God and Of God.

I will admit that when God puts a subject on my heart, the first thing I do is google “Bible verses on _____ ” to get a clear view of many, if not most, of the times we are taught about whatever it may be. Today, it was faithfulness and upon doing my normal look up, I noticed something – of the 25 or 30 verses presented, all of them were either directing us to be faithful to God, or promising us that God would be faithful to us. It is an eternal ‘I scratch your back, your scratch mine’ promise we have entered into, for those of us saved, that if you are faithful to God and what He teaches, He will remain faithful to you in the promises He offers for all who call upon His Name. 

1 John 1:9 ESV If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Ephesians 2:8 ESV For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God,

Hebrews 10:23 ESV Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful.

Proverbs 3:5 ESV Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.

Deuteronomy 6:5 ESV You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might.

1 Samuel 12:24 ESV Only fear the Lord and serve him faithfully with all your heart. For consider what great things he has done for you.

Lamentations 3:23 ESV Great is Your faithfulness.

Proverbs 3:3 ESV Let not steadfast love and faithfulness forsake you; bind them around your neck; write them on the tablet of your heart.
