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.
For the word of YHWH [is] upright, || And all His work [is] in faithfulness.
Who, then, is the servant, faithful and wise, whom his lord set over his household, to give them the nourishment in season?
and you will be hated by all because of My Name, but he who has endured to the end, he will 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.
and [speaking] truth in love, we may increase to Him [in] all things, who is the head—the Christ; from whom the whole body, being fitly joined together and united, through the supply of every joint, according to the working in the measure of each single part, the increase of the body makes for the building up of itself in love.
Do not be afraid of the things that you are about to suffer; behold, the Devil is about to cast [some] of you into prison, that you may be tried, and you will have tribulation ten days; become faithful to death, and I will give to you the garland of life.
