Faith demonstrated is faithfulness

Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. (Hebrews 11: 1) 

Hebrews 11:1 defines Christian faith. But what defines our faithfulness? Words define and are easily repeated. Yet with out exhibit we have nothing more than hollow phrases recited from memory. Do our actions demonstrate our faith in Christ Jesus as LORD? Do you do what is right even when it is contrary to culture? Are you consistent in daily living?  

The apostle Paul modeled faithfulness in every endeavor even as he was bound with chains. (2 Timothy 8:13) 

Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, the offspring of David, as preached in my gospel, for which I am suffering, bound with chains as a criminal. But the word of God is not bound! Therefore I endure everything for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.

            The saying is trustworthy, for:

            If we have died with him, we will also live with him;

            if we endure, we will also reign with him;

            if we deny him, he also will deny us;

            if we are faithless, he remains faithful—

            for he cannot deny himself.   

Here we have the perfect picture of faithfulness in Christ Jesus as Scripture tells us that He remains faithful, He cannot deny Himself. Therefore we have no excuse to not exercise complete faithfulness in Him, just as others before us have done.
