Your faithfulness endures to all generations; You established the earth, and it abides. Psalm 119.90

Our greatest guarantee from Him who created the Earth and firmed it over the void is that He will always be faithful. The Earth will not move unless He gives it movement. In the same way, His Word will always execute the mission that it has been designated. Therefore, there is complete safety in believing in Jesus. Since He is unchanging (Ml 3.6), we can rest and trust in the fact that we will never wake up with bad news.

The devil will never win the battle. In fact, he is eternally defeated, and will remain so until the final Judgment, when he will be thrown in the lake of fire and sulfur for all eternity (Rev 20.10). From now on, we will only hear about good things. What God did in the past, in someone’s favor, He will do for us in our days. He loved us in such a way that He gave His Only Son to die for us (Jo 3.16).

Those who are received as members of the divine family will never be deceived. It is good to understand that the Lord is faithful to His Word, for this gives us certainty that He will fulfill His promises. Those who trust in Him should never let anything shake or shame them, for they are in the powerful hands of the Greatest of All. The person who has faith in Jesus has everything they need, but the one who does not believe has nothing at all.

Everything that the devil says is a mistake, for he is a liar and has never been in the truth, because there is no truth in him (Jo 8.44). Therefore, there is no reason to be deceived by what he says, for there is not even a hypothesis that someday he will say any truth. With the Lord, it is the opposite: He always says the truth and does what He says, even if people leave the good way and act as the devil desires.

God will always completely fulfill what He has promised. This should serve as the basis of our confession. The Bible declares that He is ready to perform His Word (Jr 1.12). Our faith in Jesus is the only thing that is capable of giving us complete peace and security. The Father’s faithfulness will not allow Him to punish the sinners with the sentence they deserve if they beg for forgiveness and salvation.

What will lead a person to eternal death is the refusal to receive Jesus as their Substitute. He went to the cross to pay the price for our redemption. Therefore, everyone who invokes the Name of the Lord will be saved. Since God is faithful, He keeps us in all moments, freeing us from the traps set in secret against us. The Word affirms that He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High abides under His shadow and is never struck by evil (Ps 91.1-7). 

Whoever believes in Jesus can confess that no evil shall befall him nor shall any plague come near his dwelling (Ps 91.10). What a tremendous God we have, for even if we are unfaithful, He remains faithful, for He cannot deny Himself (2 Tm 2.13). What else do we need? We only need to believe and stay firm in the faith. The testimony of the Father’s mouth will not let the spirit of fear assault us.

In Christ, with love
