Freedom, which we have noted depends upon holiness, ultimately finds its source in the faithfulness of God. If God were fickle… Let your mind wander down that road even for one solid minute, and it should give you enough reason to praise the Lord for a while.
Because the Lord does not change, we can trust that His dealings with us will always be fair. He does not offer a hand of healing and friendship only to clench that hand into a fist when we try to take it in ours.
The reason you and I have our existence today is God’s faithfulness. We are not consumed because He is faithful. We have life because He mercifully has willed it, and having willed it, His faithfulness remains in spite of our unfaithfulness.
Be blessed with freedom and remembrance of the reason.
