 VERSES IN THE BIBLE THAT SPEAKS ABOUT THE
FAITHFULNESS OF GOD:

•Isaiah 41:10  Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t

be discouraged, for I am your God , I will strengthen
you and help you. I will hold you up with my
victorious right hand.
2 Thessalonians 3:3 • But the Lord is faithful, and he
will strengthen you and protect you from the evil
one

• 1 Corinthians 1:9 •” God is faithful, who has called

you into fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ our
Lord.
 STORIES OF GOD’S FAITHFULNESS IN THE BIBLE
 Abraham and Sarah
Sarah in her old age did not expect to become pregnant. She had been unable to
conceive her whole life until God came down and revealed to them that they
would have a child named Isaac who would set up the lineage of Jesus (Hebrews
11:11). The Lord did for Sarah what He had promised. And He definitely did not
fall short on that promise. And from their child came “offspring as numerous as
the stars of heaven.”
 Moses and the Israelites
God called His people out of Egypt which laid the foundation of Him rescuing
them from slavery and guiding them to the promised land. In this story, you will
see that God not only protects His people but He also fulfils His promises through
His people. God uses people like YOU and me to fulfil His purpose. He created
us on purpose and for a purpose. Even Moses who had a speech impediment
could be used to deliver God’s people from slavery. 
God’s Reveals His Faithfulness through His
Word. We can turn to the Scriptures to see the
faithfulness of God. His Word deserves praise
because it is trustworthy. God is a faithful God
who can be trusted to fulfil all of the promises that
He has said in His Word. Just look at the story of
Jesus – He is the fulfilment of all of God’s
promises.
 5 Ways
to know that
god is faithful
THERE 5 WAYS THAT GOD REMAINS FAITHFUL TO US:

1.God is faithful in providing for you.

 “And my God will meet all your needs according to the
riches of his glory in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:19).

 When you feel that life is unfair, be reminded that

God is a provider. Your needs are being met. You
may not have everything you want, but you have
everything you need. Trusting God to provide your
needs when you don’t see a way develops a
stronger dependence on God, and spiritual
maturity.
2. GOD IS FAITHFUL TO UPLIFT AND ENCOURAGE YOU

“...being confident of this, that he that began a good work

in you will carry it on to completion until the day of
Christ Jesus” (Philippians 1:6). 

• When you are burdened with the cares of life, God

will uplift and encourage you.
• When you feel like giving up or need an extra boost,
seek God’s word for restoration.
• Are you feeling overwhelmed? Philippians 4:13
reminds you that you can do all things through
Christ who strengthens you.
 3. GOD IS FAITHFUL IN COMFORTING YOU

 “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted”

(Matthew 5:4)

 We all have mourned something: the death of a loved one,

loss of friendship, relationship or identity.
 In times of loss or mourning, it is natural to become
distant, discouraged or disenchanted with God. While your
human emotions can consume you in seasons of loss, God’s
faithfulness will carry you through.
 God will comfort your spirit, and you can overcome with
Christ as your focus. God’s comfort can restore and revive
your broken spirit.
 4. GOD IS FAITHFUL IN STRENGTHENING YOU

“But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is
made perfect in weakness.” Therefore, I will boast all the more
gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on
me” (2 Corinthians 12:9). 

• At times, life has a way of weighing you down and knocking

the wind out of your sails. We all have experienced seasons
where we are depleted within our own strength and feel weak.

• God’s power is made strong in your weakness. God will

strengthen you for your specific assignment and the journey
ahead. When you are weary, God will provide you rest. You
must first acknowledge that you need to depend on God more. 
 5. GOD IS FAITHFUL IN SENDING
COMMUNITY OF SUPPORT 

“...not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but
encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching”
(Hebrews 10:25). 

• When you feel like no one understands and you are alone, God will
provide a community of support for you. Your community may be a
friend’s listening ear, a small group or a family member.
• God uses and speaks through different groups of people to encourage,
uplift, and remind you that you are not alone. 

• God is our ultimate source of support and wisdom. We should seek God’s
word daily for wisdom and direction when we feel lost, confused, or
isolated. Support from people shouldn’t replace the ultimate support
from God.

Communion

“The communion we share finds its deepest

roots in the love and unity of the Trinity.
Together, we are inspired by listening to the
Word of God, through the living Tradition of
the Church, and grounded in the sensus fidei
that we share. We all have a role to play in
discerning and living out God’s call for his
people.”

Participation

“Participation is based on the fact that all the

faithful are qualified and are called to serve
one another through the gifts they have
each received from the Holy Spirit in
baptism. In a synodal Church the whole
community is called together to pray, listen,
analyze, dialogue, discern and offer advice
on making pastoral decisions which
correspond as closely as possible to God’s
will.”
Mission

“Our mission is to witness to the love of God in

the midst of the whole human family. This
Synodal Process has a deeply missionary
dimension to it. It is intended to enable the
Church to better witness to the Gospel,
especially with those who live on the spiritual,
social, economic, political, geographical, and
existential peripheries of our world.”

of our lives.
