Colossians 1:2 To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ which are at Colosse: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Paul is greeting the faithful churchgoers at Colosse. Faithfulness is not a common trait these days. Very few will stick with you through thick and thin. As soon as the hard times hit they are gone, as soon as they are corrected they are gone, as soon as they see an easy way out they are gone, as soon as they see something they perceive as better they are gone, better children's programs, better social events, bigger church group...bigger, better, more...faithfulness means nothing... you can't depend on friendships, you can't even depend on family.
But God, who is faithful, expects us to be faithful, even unto death! Revelation 2:10 ...be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.
