God’s Faithfulness from Salvation to Glory
God’s faithfulness carries the Christian life from beginning to end. The Lord who saves his people continues to sustain and sanctify them, and he will bring his work to completion.

The God Who Finishes What He Begins
Lamentations 3:22–23 reminds us that the Lord’s mercies are new every morning and that his faithfulness is great. In Philippians 1:6, Paul expresses confidence that God will bring the good work he began in his people to completion.
In this episode of Contending for the Word Q&A, Dave Jenkins looks back over the doctrines of salvation, sanctification, and Christian hope. Each rests on the faithful character and promises of God. Even when spiritual growth feels slow or life becomes difficult, believers can trust the Lord who saves and preserves his people.
Trust God’s promises, rest in his ongoing work, look to him in every season, and live with confidence that he will complete what he has begun.
