Ser de confiança
A confiabilidade é uma marca do caráter cristão. A Bíblia exalta aqueles que são fiéis em suas palavras, compromissos e na missão que Deus lhes confiou.
Fidelidade como vocação
Ser de confiança é refletir o caráter de Deus, que é fiel em todas as suas promessas. A fidelidade se prova nas pequenas e grandes coisas.
4 For the word of the Lord is right, and all his works are done with faithfulness.
45 Who, thinkest thou, is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath appointed over his family, to give them meat in season.
22 And you shall be hated by all men for my name's sake: but he that shall persevere unto the end, he shall be saved.
Integridade e verdade
O cristão confiável fala a verdade, cumpre suas promessas e persevera até o fim, mesmo quando o caminho é difícil.
15 But doing the truth in charity, we may in all things grow up in him who is the head, even Christ:16 From whom the whole body, being compacted and fitly joined together, by what every joint supplieth, according to the operation in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body, unto the edifying of itself in charity.
10 Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer. Behold, the devil will cast some of you into prison that you may be tried: and you shall have tribulation ten days. Be thou faithful until death: and I will give thee the crown of life.
