( Proverbs 28:20) A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent.

(2 Timothy 2:13) If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.

(John 1:12-13) [12]But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

[13]Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

* God is faithful in His attributes or in His character.

Psalms 89:1-2 [1] I will sing of the mercies of the LORD for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations.

[2]For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very heavens.

2. BECAUSE GOD DESIGN THE LIFE OF THE CHRISTIAN TO BE FAITHFUL TO HIM.

(1 Corinthians 4:2) Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.

* God require the soulwinners that will teach others also to be faithful.

(II Timothy 2:2) [1]Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.

[2]And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.

3. BECAUSE GOD IS GLORIFY AND PLEASE IN THE LIFE OF THE FAITHFUL CHRISTIANS.

(Colossians 1:10) That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;

4. BECAUSE THE FAITHFUL CHRISTIANS ARE THE CLEAR REFLECTION OF THE LIFE AND EXAMPLE OF CHRIST.

( I Peter 2:21) For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:

5. BECAUSE GOD USE THE FAITHFUL CHRISTIANS FOR SALVATION OF MANY LOST PEOPLE.

Acts 2:38-41) ([38]Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

[39]For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.

[40]And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.

[41]Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.

* To God be the glory *
