The Importance of Integrity
“The righteous who walks in his integrity — blessed are his children after him!” — Proverbs 20:7
Integrity is defined as “a firm adherence to a code or standard of values; soundness.” As Christians, our standards should be much higher than those of the world. People of integrity are committed to a life of excellence — seeking to be better or to go beyond what's normally expected of them. Having integrity means you do the right thing even when nobody is looking... and you keep your word even if it costs you something. We must make excellence a habit by following the example of Jesus, our standard of integrity. As God’s representatives, we are called to show the world what He is like — and we may be the only Bible some people read.
