As believers, we meditate about God and our Lord Jesus Christ. As we study and commune with God we find ourselves ever more intent upon being like Him, living like Him, and exercising our faith in action as Jesus did. That is why Paul describes the fruit of the spirit as growing in us in proportion as we walk in the spirit rather than in the flesh. Simply put, if you want to please God then live your life so as to please Him, and not yourself. Faithfulness is Not Optional When two people get married they expect one another to remain faithful.
Faithfulness is a part of the marriage contract.
So also with God. Faithfulness is not an option we choose. God expects us to be faithful to Him, and He seeks men and women who will live so as to consistently carry out His will. We show God our faithfulness by obeying Him. One cannot be faithful to God if they do what they please.
