God Is Faithful
by Larry M. Jaynes

Corinthians 1:9 God is faithful, by whom ye were called
unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
It was God Who called us, and in His Word He first wanted to make
the point that He is faithful. In other words, He will never let
you down. Imagine this for a moment that God, the Creator of
heavens and earth actually called you! Why did He call? He called
to invite you unto the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our
Lord.
Now can you imagine having fellowship with Jesus? God called
you to this fellowship with the Savior of the world.
Fellowship literally means a full sharing, a partnership, an equal
portion. However, do you know the question that stumps
people the most? How did God call me, and why me?
Well, He called you, because He knew that you would believe His
Word, and in our initial stages of believing God, He wants us to
know that He is always faithful. His calling was not a
fluke, an accident, or a mistake. God loved you and called
you from the beginning.
Ephesians 1:4 According as he
{God} hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world,
that we should be holy and without blame before him in love.
God called us before the foundation of the world, and as we hear,
recognize, and answer His calling by our believing, we will begin
to notice that we do not incur His wrath. But rather, we can
always stand before Him in fellowship with Christ, being holy and
without blame, and immersed in His unending love for us.
II Thessalonians 2:13-14 But we
are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of
the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to
salvation through {by way of} sanctification of the Spirit and
{your} belief of the truth. Whereunto he called you by our
gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Not only were we called to have fellowship with Jesus Christ, we
were also called to obtain the actual glory of our Lord Jesus
Christ. This is heavy-duty stuff, and it is all ours when we
answer the faithful call of our God, Who is our Father.
God is faithful, and He called you into a fellowship with Jesus
Christ! You may have a full and personal sharing in all of
Christ’s glory, in all that he accomplished for you, in all that
he made available for you. God’s faithful Scriptures reveal the
truths of His calling to you check it out it’s a true treasure
hunt, and when you find the treasures they are yours to keep for
all eternity!
