A faithful man who can find?

A faithful man who can find?
=======================

Proverbs 20:6 NKJV
Most men will proclaim each his own goodness, But who can find a faithful man?

Psalms 12:1 NKJV
Help, Lord , for the godly man ceases! For the faithful disappear from among the sons of men.

Gill commentary
Or, though every man is talking of his good works, and boasting of his goodness, it is difficult to find an Israelite indeed, in whom the true grace of God is.

Cross References

Matthew 6:2
"So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.

Luke 18:8
I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?"

Luke 18:11
The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed: 'God, I thank you that I am not like other people--robbers, evildoers, adulterers--or even like this tax collector.

If you manage to find one, one that is faithful in love and in truth. Violently grab hold of him. Mark him out. Grapple and wrestler with him. Track and pin him down. And learn whatever you can from this man. A faithful man who can find.

If you love God you will also love thoses who love God as well.

I mean do you not love those who love God?

A faithful man who can find?
