Oh my gosh,
2 Timothy 2:13 has to be one of the most misunderstood verses in the N.T.
Look at 2 Timothy 2:12?
If we deny Him, He will deny us.
Then in verse 13 it says that if we're unfaithful, He remains faithful.
Doesn't it seem like a contradiction to you?
Yet God is not a maker of confusion.
So, obviously, verse 13 must mean something else.
Don't take my word for it, you could look it up, but it mean that We could be unfaithful to God, but HE cannot be unfaithful to HIMSELF.
Even if we lose faith in HIM, HE will continue his salvific work in those who wish to have faith and be saved. He will do what He promised in the beginning in the book of Genesis 3:15

we will also live with him;
12 if we endure,
we will also reign with him.
If we disown him,
he will also disown us;
13 if we are faithless,
he remains faithful,
for he cannot disown himself.
2 tim 2:11-13

Die with Christ, live with Him
Endure, reign with Him
Disown, disowned by Him
Faithless, He remains faithful waiting
God is faithful to His word, and if we return to Him He will be faithful, there is
always hope if we turn back to Him.
Many here have found they lost their faith, but have returned to a faithful
God and been restored, Praise the Lord. Without this once you become faithless
we would forever be lost.
