God is Faithful 1

God is faithful.  He is a God who keeps His Word.  He is a covenant keeping God.  Deuteronomy 7:9 says, " Know therefore that the LORD your GOD is GOD; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commandments," (NIV).  To be faithful means to be loyal, constant, true, devoted.  God does not change.  He does not change in His character, His love, kindness, fairness or in fulfilling His promises to us.  God is immutable.
