True integrity is not compartmentalized, nor holding a standard for one particular area of business or other in life.
It is by biblical authority, defined as the whole of a person’s life.
“Hard work ethic, or a system of professionalism” might be a person’s considered specialized practice of integrity, yet might lack in compassion, or…?
And might lack in convictions, high standards of character, moral righteousness, in other facets of private or public life.
This is not true integrity. True integrity is the wholeness of a man of God in all life affairs.
We are only whole, or complete in Jesus Christ. For the genuine Christian, Jesus is completing His work in us and through us.
We are only whole, or complete in Jesus Christ. For the genuine Christian, Jesus is completing His work in us and through us.
Jesus Christ is the supreme, and Perfect example of integrity.
Our Bibles include men and women of God, who followed a pattern of integrity.
It’s a spiritual discipline-by every Word of God.
A dedicated study and training by the Great Master Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
We hold fast to true integrity, by the Grace of God, Who is our life.
When we are persecuted, looked down on, deemed as nothing by men (we rejoice that in Christ we are His treasure),
rejected, abandoned, by men in this world- We keep standing in the truth for the TRUTH.
We please our Lord. We are able, like Joseph, Job, Daniel. Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego-
because we understand the Grace of God, the Compassion of God, the Faithfulness of God, and drum roll….
THE SOVEREIGNTY OF GOD!
Walk humbly. Fight the good fight of faith. Stand firm.
Don’t be persuaded to believe “men of high standing” to declare “this or that” over your life.
For the true believer- The truth is, by the Grace of God,
He made us, saved us from our sins, adopted us as His own, we belong to Him.
He declares beginning to end!
Listen, “to Me” God says!
“Who have been upheld by Me from birth,
Who have been carried from the womb:
Even to your old age, I am He,
And even to gray hairs I will carry you!
I have made, and I will bear;
Even I will carry, and will deliver you.”
For I am God, and there is no other;
I am God, and there is none like Me,
Declaring the end from the beginning,
And from ancient times things that are not yet done,
Saying, ‘My counsel shall stand,
And I will do all My pleasure” Isaiah 46:3,4,10
When we make living for God, obedience, His will, following His leading,
submitted WHOLLY to Him as the pattern and priority of our WHOLE existence-
we will walk by Faith, Not by sight. We will know we are secure, firmly anchored in the love that rescued us
and is taking us from beginning to end on this earth in His plans for our life, and into eternity with our Redeemer.
“The counsel of the Lord stands forever,
The plans of His heart to all generations.” Psalms 33:11
I am always overwhelmed how God moves in our lives.
A study on Integrity, then soon life situations sprung forth to apply.
God goes before us!!! He equips us, preparing us for the Fight.
I was able, to SEE past man, stand firm. Not fearful, but in Faith.
Love compels me. Love of God, love of others, love for TRUTH.
Speak confidently in truth, wisdom of God. Advocating.
All these components and more. Fighting the good fight in love!!
In total Faith in God, no confidence in man, or flesh.
Confidence in God alone. A peace that RULES and REIGNS. Jesus! Experiencing His glories!
God gives us all we need as women, men, Children of God. Jesus Christ!
The Perfect example of INTEGRITY.
He is Perfect TRUTH and LOVE.
In Word and Deed. In every single moment of every kind of circumstance He lived on this earth.
From before time began, in every Word that proceeds from the mouth of God.
Beginning to end. Fulfilling His Word, guaranteed.
“Not that I have attained, I press on…” Phil. 3:14
