"I will sing of the mercies of the LORD forever; With my mouth will I make known Your faithfulness to all generations. For I have said, 'Mercy shall be built up forever; Your faithfulness You shall establish in the very heavens.'" - Psalms 89:1-2 (NKJV)God does not lie. He never promises what He can't deliver. He doesn't say He will do one thing and then change His mind and do another; or do nothing at all. When He promises, he comes through. When He says something will happen, it does. What He says sticks, is true, never fails, and is always possible.
"Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne; steadfast love and faithfulness go before you." - Psaml 89:14All that God does, all of the Good that He is, comes by way of His faithfulness. His righteousness and justice demand it; His mercy requires it; His love does not exist without it. Faithfulness is what God is and does above all things, and everything about Him is wrapped up in this simple and exquisite truth: He is faithful.
Because He is faithful, I know that these things are true:
He will never leave me nor forsake me
I am forgiven for my sins: past, present, future
He has put His Holy Spirit inside of me
I am righteous
I can do anything He calls me to do
He speaks to me, and I recognize His voice
He will never promise and not deliver
Death is defeated
