God's faithfulness endures to all generations. Our faithfulness does not always. Only we, ourselves, individually, can answer that truthfully. I was thinking about being faithful ... to a friend ... to God and the same with being unfaithful. It's a lot to think about. I searched my Bible concordance, then I went online. There's lots to be said about being faithful. Lots of view points... from a Christian standpoint and from non-Christian.
It's interesting. As a Christian, a fruit of the Spirit is "faith." We are saved by grace through faith. God offers us this gift, this wonderful gift of His son, who was born, who died for us, all of mankind, the entire human race, who took all of our sins, past present and future on Himself, that we might have eternal life with Him and the Father. When we accept this priceless gift, we become a child of the King, of Jesus, who opens wide His arms to receive us. That's definitely faith. Believing without a doubt that God will keep His word. He said so.
Another interesting thought. Sometimes it seems to be easier to be a "just recently saved" or "new" Christian than it does one who has been walking with the Lord many years. But then again, maybe not. You have to walk ... run ... skip ... dance ... crawl ... with the Lord day-to-day, minute by minute. It's not here today, gone tomorrow. For some people perhaps it is. Guess it depends what it is you're being faithful to and why.
To be faithful to God, you've got to have the right motive. Love - Trust - Believe.
God always has our very best interests at heart. After all He created us. Why can't we just accept it and not worry about anything? I don't know why we can't. Human nature perhaps?

Faithfulness
"You cannot be faithful to God
if you allow any unbelief to take root in your heart"
