Will God Find You Faithful

In Luke 18:8, Jesus asked, “When I, the Messiah, return, how many will I find who have faith?” (TLB). Why is it so important that Jesus finds us faithful in a faithless world? The Bible gives three compelling reasons:

God wants to bless faithful people.

The Bible says in 2 Chronicles 16:9, “For the eyes of the Lord search back and forth across the whole earth, looking for people whose hearts are perfect toward him, so that he can show his great power in helping them” (TLB). And Proverbs 28:20 promises, “A faithful person will be richly blessed” (NIV).

Faithful people are hard to find.

People who trust God with all their heart, soul, mind, and strength are actually quite rare. The Bible says, “Everyone talks about how loyal and faithful he is, but just try to find someone who really is!” (Proverbs 20:6 GNT).

Faithfulness is the key to victory.

The Bible teaches, “Every child of God is able to defeat the world. And we win the victory over the world by means of our faith” (1 John 5:4 GNT). Talent, money, and intelligence won’t give you victory, but a life of faithfulness leads to spiritual victory as you overcome difficulties, distress, and despair.
