                   On the Faithfulness of God, Pt. 1
                   ---------------------------------
                         by Arthur W. Pink

 "KNOW therefore that the Lord thy God, He is God, the _faithful_ God"
(Deut. 7:9).  This quality is essential to His being, without it He
would not be God.  For God to be unfaithful would be to act contrary to
His nature, which were impossible: "If we believe not, yet He abideth
faithful; He cannot deny Himself" (II Tim. 2:13).  Faithfulness is one
of the glorious perfections of His being.  He is, as it were, clothed
with it: "O Lord God of hosts, who is a strong Lord like unto Thee?  or
to Thy faithfulness _round about_ Thee?" (Psa. 89:8).  So too when God
became incarnate is was said, "Righteousness shall be the girdle of His
loins, and faithfulness the girdle of His reins [waist area]." (Isa. 11:5).

                taken from "The Attributes of God", by Arthur W. Pink.
                The book covers many of the LORD's attributes, such as
                His Holiness, Knowledge, Power, Love, and Patience.
