“But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them—yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me.”
1 Corinthians 15:10
“…if we are faithless,
he will remain faithful,
for he cannot disown himself.”
2 Timothy 2:13
We can be faithful to Him because He is first faithful to us. And He is faithful to us even when we are not faithful to Him.
We can be committed to Him because He is committed to us. And He is committed to us even during the times that we are not that committed to Him.
We cannot give up on Him because He is not giving up on us. And He will continue not giving up on us even when we have given up on Him.
We can love Him because He first loved us. He loved us even when we were still His enemies. He sent His Son to die for us wretched sinners so that we may have eternal life in Him.
This truth makes me love Him even more, makes me desire to be more faithful and committed. Yet even these, truly come from Him alone.

Pastor Ernie, thank you for this wonderful message. Truly, God is faithful even if we are not. I pray that I may decrease so that He will increase in me. Please pray for me Pastor Ernie, I have a nagging pain at my side. It has been there for quite a while. Also I have sore eyes today. It makes me sad because even though I want to hold my children, I am isolated from them. Please pray for my speedy recovery from any ailments that I may have. Thank you. Oh Lord Jesus. Have mercy on Cresel.
