How can we be sure that integrity guides our actions?

1. Keep our word:

if we say we are going to do something, then we must do it If we say we are going to be somewhere, then we must be there.We probably all know those people that we can’t really count on. Don’t be one of those people.

2. Tell the truth :

Mark Twain said, “if you tell the truth, you don’t have to remember anything.” It’s easier and the right thing to do. Even little white lies eat away at our integrity.

3.Don’t gossip:

Keep confidences and don’t talk about others behind their back.

A gossip can’t be trusted with a secret, but someone of integrity won’t violate a confidence” (Proverbs 11:13 The Message).

4.Work hard:

Colossians 3:23 says “Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people.”

If we’re a believer, our real boss is God, and whether or not anybody else sees our work, God does.

5.Act consistently :

A person of integrity doesn’t act one way in church and another way at work and another way in social settings. In addition, a person of integrity treats the janitor with the same level of respect as the CEO.

God is never changing. He is faithful, trustworthy, true, and loyal. He can be counted on. He wants us to follow His example and live a life of integrity.
