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 righteous, and all his workes are faithfull.
45 Who then is a faithfull seruaunt and wise, whom his master hath made ruler ouer his household, to giue them meate in season?
22 And yee shall be hated of all men for my Name: but he that endureth to the end, he shall be saued.
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 let vs folowe the truth in loue, and in all things, grow vp into him, which is the head, that is, Christ. 16 By whome al the body being coupled and knit together by euery ioynt, for ye furniture therof (according to the effectual power, which is in the measure of euery part) receiueth increase of the body, vnto the edifying of itselfe in loue.
10 Feare none of those things, which thou shalt suffer: beholde, it shall come to passe, that the deuill shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tryed, and ye shall haue tribulation tenne dayes: be thou faithfull vnto the death, and I will giue thee the crowne of life.
