What does it mean to say that God is faithful?

God is faithful.

We might think that certain material blessings show that God is faithful. Actually, God is faithful means that He is faithful to take away all our idols. God is faithful to take away everything within us that replaces Christ or takes precedence over Christ. Sometimes our safety, our security, our health, or our possessions cab become idols to us. God does not want those things to become idols to us. He wants to be our safety, our security, our health, and our possession, so He is faithful to take away all our idols and lead us into the joint participation of Christ in which we enjoy Him with one another to the uttermost.
