Defining Loyalty
In the Old Testament, the root of the word faith means "build, support, firmness, permanent establishment, belief, and fact." The main idea of this word is trust, firmness, and certainty. In the New Testament, the word faith translated as faith or loyalty. In the fruit list of the Holy Spirit, it must translate into loyalty. The first is redemption (accepted by faith), and then the promise of the one who saved us (faithfulness from faith).
In secular Greek, the word faith often used to mean "reliability" - trustworthy; a person who can be reliable. Reliability includes the rigorous standards of truth and reliability to administer others. Trusted people committed to the truth, and the fact finds its place in the Word of God. Reliable people, you trust to do the right thing and keep promises. Then, loyalty includes honesty, loyalty, honesty, and sincerity. A faithful person is not a perfect person. He or she may fail, but they will not do so. Because they love God and others, and because of their integrity, they will seek reliability.
Fidelity Description
Loyalty and supremacy are the qualities of God. Deuteronomy 7:9 "said to know the Lord your God is God, and he is a faithful God. He keeps generating love for a thousand generations to those who love him and keep his commandments. The God is the Father, and the faithfulness of the Son." Revelation 19:11 says: "I beheld the heavens open. It was a white horse before me, and the riders called faithful and true. The classical text in the fruit of the Bible in Galatians 5:22 shows the Holy Spirit the source of faithfulness. Then we see that God is a model of loyalty."
Loyalty Principle
We test our love for God because of our loyalty to His Word and His will. God's Word is His inspired, authoritative, and incorruptible Word. This the conviction he expressed for each believer. You may inform us what to do and how to live. This is our means of holiness. The poet said he hid the word of God in his heart to prevent him from sinning. We must meditate on the Word of God. This means we must invest high-quality time to read the WORD OF GOD. Asking the Holy Spirit to clarify it and think of what he is saying.
We need discipline; a lot of distractions and other things show more interesting. We have a responsibility to support this path and to nurture our bodies as much as possible. Jesus said people should not live by bread alone but on every word in God's mouth. Besides meditating on this, we must live. If we want to live in a way that pleases God, then the commandment, principle, and commandment we must obey. If every Christian obeys this word, God's advice. The result is a revival. We convinced that we live and are faithful to the will of God.
Loyalty includes Christ suffering. Christians writing from the Hebrews are dealing with strong persecution., it rains, it will stop people from going to church. Is this the level of our commitment to the Lord Jesus Christ? The Lord has offered everything for our salvation. In other churches, suffering is a serious word. Christians must prosper; any pain shows they are not within the will of God. What rubbish! The Bible shows we will suffer because of our faith in Jesus Christ. When we live for God, the enemy will not sit back. He does everything in his power to destroy our faith and to use our power. In Western churches, ordinary Christians aren't prepared to suffer for Christ, they aren't prepared to die for him.
They want a comfortable Christianity where God will bless them with whatever they want; surrender becomes conditional, preaching becomes a motive, and the cruelty of the cross minimized. Is Christianity an anemia of the Western Church in most cases? We still required to accept the cross of pain and follow Jesus.
Loyalty means keeping your vows/promises. Ecclesiastes 5:5 says: “better not to swear, not to swear, not to swear.” Psalm 15 repaid his debt and kept his words. Other people in the past and today, one's words are his bond. Too many people today have commitment problems and still loyal to what they promised.
Broken marriages, broken families, broken churches, and broken lives are a testimony to this. Fidelity produces loyalty. The term loyalty means giving or showing firm or continuous support or loyalty to a person or institution. We will loyal to God, friends, employers, churches. Loyalty does not mean defending mistakes; we will support what is right; loyalty will not make you “yes”. In addition, we will loyal if we monitored. In the metaphor of talent (Matthew 25:14-30), the two servants loyal and loyal. These praised and rewarded. But, the third servant was not faithful and punished for infidelity.
Loyalty and coherence linked. God wants us to complete what we started. We are approaching 2019 and by the end of the year, many will reach a solution. They do it with good intentions. Any of them will keep their resolutions, but other cannot achieve their resolutions. Faithful Christians consistent in areas of their lives: attending church, fulfilling promises, giving alms, being in ministry, being at work. This doesn't mean confused and won't react to changes. This means they will complete their season in specific areas until God changes them to something else.
We must see loyalty in our management work. The administrator is the person who manages the affairs or property of others. We are stewards of God and we are stewards of your ministry and resources. The apostle Paul told the Corinthian church: “It now required that those who entrusted must be faithful” (1 Corinthians 4:2). We must devote time, talent, and wealth to the Lord. Dedicating time to the Lord means spending our time on him.
This means we spend high-quality time with them, and we manage our time so as not to waste. We keep balance when we use our time: we allow time for God, our family, work, rest and entertainment. Must apply our talents to the natural and spiritual power and gifts He has given us. We find that place (inside and outside the church) and serve God. Our property refers to everything we have. We must and donate our money. Our home can use for entertaining or hosting a group. We can use our cars as blessings. No matter what resources we have, we must manage and use God's glory. These things (time, talent, and property) that we hold for God must glorify Him.
Faithfulness Exemplified
José would rather go to jail than to disobey his teacher Potiphar. His loyalty led him to rise in the Palace of Poti, prisons, and palaces. Moses showed his loyalty by obeying God. He refused to call the son of Pharaoh's daughter (Hebrews 11:24) he followed God's path instead of enjoying the royal privilege. Abused by God's people and left Egypt without fear of the king's anger. David had strong people to support him and fight with him (1 Samuel 23:8-39); these people will risk their lives to protect the king from physical harm.
Even at the risk of his life, Daniel remained faithful to God. Even if it is illegal to pray to anyone other than the king, he still prays to God. Loyal to God and his country. He had such a wonderful spirit that his enemies could not find any mistakes in his work. Instead, they have to challenge him for his loyalty to God. When people can only blame him for his promise to Jesus, this a good thing because they can't find other defects in his character, lifestyle, and work. God released Daniel because of his faithfulness. In King Josiah, the foreman loyal and did not need to give an account (2 Kings 22:7). They work in an honest and upright manner. The apostle Paul is faithful. He said: "I already fought, and I completed the race. I maintained my faith. Now the crown of justice is waiting for me. The justice Judge will give me that day, not only me but also All those longing for him" (2 Timothy 4:7-8).
God is faithful to his promise. The Hebrews author encourages us to “uphold the hopes we have acknowledged because the promised ones are faithful” (Heb. 10:23). If God promises to be with us forever, we promise he will always be present, regardless of the circumstances. God says he will provide it to us, he will do it when we need it most. If God promises to protect and defend us, then despite our strong opposition, he will still do so. God-loyal to Forgiveness 1 John 1:9 tells us “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and fair, and will forgive our sins and cleanse us of all iniquity.” God will not tolerate and tolerate sin; He is a fair and sacred God. However, he was merciful, and he arranged that if we sinned, we had an advocate who could forgive and rescue us. God has called us: “The people who call you are faithful and will do it” (1 Thessalonians 5:24).
Conclusion
One of the fundamental problems with the church is that we are not faithful. Often, we are unfaithful to God. We are unfaithful to our spouse and family and we are not loyal to the church. The church practices because people are not faithful; they do not do what they should do. I want to challenge you to live your life in this way. God does not have to say "throw the useless servant into the darkness". On the contrary, your way of life should be like this, God said: "Well done, good and faithful servant, you are loyal to certain things, I will let you take charge of many things, to share the joy of your teacher."
Faithful in Her
