God is faithful enough to have somehow brought me to this series on His character when He knew I was sincerely struggling with understanding who He is in light of the things that have happened in my life to show me the truth of His faithful love towards me. I’m so humbled by His goodness and mercy towards me. Glory to His eternal name

I always being bored reading the bible, since Bible is hard to understand. But you guys help us believers to be able to clearly understood God and Jesus itself. How God loves us, how we fail him many times. And how he continually love us and there waiting for us to change. Thank you. I am actually not feeling good right now, tired and not confident. I hope God well provide things that I need and he will bless me. Thank You for everything @BibleProject you guys save many people.

The word emet is a common word used to describe God in the Bible. It can be translated as “faithfulness” or “truth.” It involves honesty and truth-telling, (Proverbs 12:19), reliability, and dependability (Psalm 31:6). Because emet is the last of the five words used to describe God in Exodus 34:6, it has the effect of declaring that God’s character of compassion, graciousness, patience, and loyal love will be constant, faithful, or forever. So when the authors say that God is “full of emet,” they are saying that God is trustworthy and reliable, true to his character and his promises.
God desires for his people to reciprocate his trustworthiness by placing their trust in him, both in belief and in action. The Hebrew word for trust is from the same Hebrew root of emet, he’emin. It can be translated as “to believe” or “to have faith,” but most basically, it means “to consider someone trustworthy” or “to trust.” It’s what God calls humans to do in response to his character of emet.
The story of the Bible shows us many positive and negative examples of what it looks like to trust, or not trust, God. Abraham’s belief in God’s ability to be faithful to his promise to him is held up as an example of trust (Genesis 12:1-3; 15:5-6). Israel’s lack of belief in God when they spy out the promised land is held up as an example of failed trust (Numbers 14:11). David walks in emet before God and trusts in God’s promise of a future faithful king who will reign forever (2 Samuel 7:15-16; 1 Kings 3:6).
And God ultimately fulfills his promises to Abraham, Israel, and David in the person of Jesus (Matthew 1:1). He is the faithful king whose kingdom will endure forever. Jesus embodies God’s trustworthiness (Romans 15:8-9; John 1:14) and calls us, along with all the world, to place our trust in him (John 3:16).
