Evil men will avoid jail terms and sentences because crafty lawyers find loopholes in the law. Whatever contracts are signed can always be broken and nullified. Divorce rates are climbing in both Christian and non-Christian homes. What does this say about our culture? What does this say about us? These are just a few examples that show our word is no longer our bond. Furthermore, these say unfaithfulness is ok. There are even website dating services for married men and women.
Unfaithfulness is not just a character problem; it is a cultural problem. It is not a new phenomenon that has suddenly sprung upon the current generation. Unfaithfulness, or betrayal, has been a common theme in the story of the world for a long time. It is who we, as people, all too often are.
But if unfaithfulness is a character trait of humanity, faithfulness is one of the essential character traits of God. Arthur Pink declares, " God is true. His Word of Promise is sure. In all His relations with His people God is faithful. He may be safely relied upon. No one ever yet really trusted Him in vain."
God did not promise a perfect or easy life, but He did promise that He would always be there with us, in spite of our circumstances. We need to stop running from the truth of who God is, and stop trying to find loopholes. We need o stop trying to find the loopholes in the Bible, and come to accept God for who He says He is" Always Faithful."
