Faithful: adj. to be consistent/constant to; to be true/adhering to a standard.
Today’s question will be addressed through a “Perspective” episode. These are episodes where we discuss a topic and try to present its different perspectives to help our audience appreciate the complexity of the subject and hopefully give guidance on finding biblical truth in a world of misinformation and information overload.
Roy, Patricia, and Krista join Peter in discussing today’s question: What does it mean to be a faithful Christian?
Whether you grew up in a Christian home or you’re a new believer, you’re probably wondering how you can meet this requirement or “ultimate goal” of Christianity.
As Roy talks about the misconceptions we can have on how to be faithful (3:44), Patricia reminds us that the enemy wants to keep us from becoming faithful (7:10), and Krista shares advice on consistency to grow (10:00), it’s important to ask yourself another question.
Are we just checking boxes so that we can be faithful?
“A husband doesn’t go through his day thinking, “I need to be faithful to my wife.” But when a husband enjoys a solid relationship with his wife, he does things to spend time with her because he enjoys it, not because he has to “check the boxes.”
To be faithful to the Lord, we need the Lord’s help.
“for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure.”
Philippians 2:13
