Introduction :Steadfastness could mean

- constant.
We will focus on the following outlines based on Steadfastness
Outline 1:
Did you know God considers it a Sin if anyone who knows how to do good, fails to do good ?
see James 4:7
Outline 2:
It is not right to do good and cease from doing well.
You must be consistent in doing good.
Once you stop, it is also a sin before God
Outline 3:
God Keeps Records.
Some of us may wonder if it is possible for God to keep record of events made by every single individual in the world (considering there are approximately 7.134 billion people in the world ).
Remember, God is not a man. Nothing is impossible for Him to do. If we humans are limited, God is not limited.
Any good or bad act that you have done, is in God's record.
No matter how big or small your act is, the Lord is aware of it.
Hebrews 6.10 states "God is not unrighteous to forget our work and labor of love.
An example of someone that God remembered due to his good acts is Cornelius.
Acts 10 10: 1-5 narrates the story of Cornelius
His good Acts brought salvation to him and his household.
Another example of a character in the Bible that was remembered by God due to his good works is Hezekiah.
See Isiah 38: 1-2.
The Lord extended his life by 15 years based on his good works.
Do you feel like no one cares about your good works ?
Do you feel like it is a waste of time ?
Do not faint from doing good.
Remember: It is good to do good because God is watching and He will reward you greatly.
Have a blessed Week.
