How does God's faithfulness relate to the atonement?

Answered in 1 source

God's faithfulness assures us that His promises regarding the atonement and salvation are reliable and cannot be broken.

God's faithfulness is intrinsically linked to the atonement in that He has pledged His promise concerning our salvation through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. According to the sermon, if God were to go back on His word, it would indicate a weakness in His character, which is contrary to His nature. His faithfulness is underscored by His oath, wherein He swears by Himself that He cannot lie (Hebrews 6:18). Therefore, the assurance of salvation through the atonement becomes a cornerstone of faith for believers, as it reflects God's unwavering commitment to fulfilling His promises. This knowledge fosters confidence in the believer's security in Christ, reinforcing the doctrine of perseverance of the saints.
