Ang taglay mong katapatan ay hindi na magbabago; ang nilikha mong daigdig, matatag sa kanyang dako.

Awit 119:90

Just as God’s Word endures forever, His faithfulness will never be shaken. The Bible is replete with stories of God’s faithfulness to His people. Halimbawa, ang katapatan ng Diyos sa pagtupad ng Kanyang mga pangako ay nakita natin sa buhay nina Abraham at Sarah. Bagamat imposibleng magkaanak pa sila dahil kapwa matanda na, God fulfilled His promise to give Abraham a son when Sarah gave birth to Isaac (Genesis 17: 21–22).

Ang pagsugo ng Ama kay Jesus sa krus ng kalbaryo para sa ating kaligtasan ay isa pang halimbawa ng walang kahalintulad na katapatan ng Kanyang pagmamahal sa atin. “Isinugo ng Diyos ang kanyang Anak, hindi upang hatulang maparusahan ang mga tao, kundi upang iligtas ang mga ito sa pamamagitan niya” (Juan 3:17).

Gayunpaman, hindi natin matatamo ang pangakong kapatawaran sa ating mga kasalanan at kaligtasan sa kaparusahan, kung hindi natin pananampalatayanan at isususuko ang ating buhay kay Jesus (1 Juan1:9).

Akala mo ba hindi ka mapapatawad ni Lord sa laki ng kasalanan mo? No one is beyond God’s forgiveness. He is faithful to forgive us and take us back, no matter how unfaithful we have become. He demonstrated this in the troubled marriage of Hosea, a prophet in the Old Testament. Iniutos Niya na patawarin at tubusin ni Hosea ang asawang si Gomer sa kanyang pangangalunya (Hosea 3:1).

Nagkatotoo ito sa buhay ni Remigio. Due to his busyness at work, his wife, who longed for his affection, committed adultery. Remigio was deeply hurt, until he heard the voice of God in a dream commanding him to forgive his wife and take her back. Remigio obeyed God, and the couple reconciled. Their marriage was restored, and now, they live happily with their three children.
