The Son of Man came to seek and save that which was lost. It is Jesus' favorite title of Himself. I chosen this title because Jesus loved this title of Himself. We ought to never forget that Jesus is fully God and fully man: two natures in One Person. He is the God-man, the Incarnate Second Person of the Trinity. May we mediate on His life, death, burial, resurrection and ascension that we may be conformed to the image of the divine Son of Man! This blog web site will be a Christian defense of the Reformed doctrines of the Incarnate Son of Man. May all glory be to His name!

Devoted Faithfulness

Faithfulness is making faith a living reality in someone's life.  That is, it is a living and active and working faith.  It is centered on obedience and spiritual life.  It is centered on belief and faith and the good news of Jesus entering the spiritual heart of man. 

Faithfulness is manifested in God's service (Mt. 24:45), declaring God's Word (Jer. 23:38), bearing witness (Prov. 14:5), keeping secrets (Prov. 11:3), helping others (3 Jn 5), doing work (2 Chr. 34:12), positions of trust (Neh. 13:13), reproving others (Prov. 27:6) conveying messages (Prov. 25:13) and smallest things (Lk 16:10-12).  It is illustrated in the lives of OT and NT saints (from Abraham (Gal. 1:9) to Paul (Acts 17: 16, 17).  We are to be focused on faithfulness.  It means abstaining from sin and also repentance.  It means living according to God's commandments and walking before the Lord blameless.
