What Is Integrity according to the Bible?
When choosing people to respect or emulate, we want to be able to trust that the person is who they claim to be, that they will follow through consistent with their proven character.Īccording to the dictionary, integrity is “adherence to moral and ethical principles soundness of moral character honesty.” A street-level definition might be “being a good person.” Integrity can be an overarching way to describe a life that is lived according to God’s way, revealed to us in His Word. “They’re the real deal,” or, “What you see if what you get,” or “He’s a man of his word,” or “She’s the same in private as in public” all get at this idea.
When you think about one of your role models, what sets him or her apart? When answering this question, most people would likely end up saying something about the person’s integrity.
