Faithfulness

What is "faithfulness"?
One of the "best" comments I've heard is that it is "consistent commitment."
That means for us Christians, that we are consistently committed to obedience--daily we are to practice those virtues Paul writes about in Colossians: compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, patience, accepting, forgiving.
It means DAILY: living for the Lord (Col 3:23); living wisely (4:5-6); living with concern for others (4:12).
Being faithful (a faithful Christian) is NOT a part-time job. It is consistent commitment to the wishes of our Lord and Savior. Constantly striving to please Him, not ourselves. Are you faithful, every hour of every day? What a goal to strive for! What a life to live! (That our joy may be complete.)
