But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. Galatians 5:22-23 (NKJV)
Faithfulness: the character of one who can be relied on; strict observance of promises, duties; fidelity, trustworthiness, dependability
One who can be relied on — dependable. If you say you are going to do something, you do it. No excuses. Reliable. Can be trusted.
The character of one — that's the basis for faithfulness. What is your character?
In our society today, lying has become the acceptable norm. There seems to be no consequence for lying. Even if our society doesn't hold one accountable for lying — God does!
These six things the Lord hates, yes, seven are an abomination to Him: a proud look, a lying tongue. Proverbs 6:16, 17a
Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord, But those who deal truthfully are His delight. Proverbs 12:22
Faithfulness — character of dependability.
Do you do what you say? Can you be trusted? Are you faithful in your words, actions, and attitude?
