The term translated as integrity in the New Testament means honesty and adherence to a pattern of good works. As we had received Christ, we should become like Jesus and walk in his footsteps in a manner that is pleasing to him continuously.

DISCUSSION

How is the culture of integrity developed?

Remember Your Identity in Christ: The Bible describes us as ambassadors of Christ. As His representatives therefore whatever we do rob off on the name we represent. (2 Corinthians 2:20; Colossians 3:17)

Remember Who You Are: We are the children of light. So we walk in the reality of who we have become in Christ. You should know that we are dead in Christ. (2 Corinthians 5:17, 21; Ephesians 1:4-8)

Remember Your New Life: As children of God, our new life is life of honesty and integrity. We have the capacity and the commendation to live according to his high calling. (Colossians 1:13-14; Matthew 5:37)

REVIEW QUESTION
