Integrity
Section III, overview: The glory of Jesus Christ, in an applicable sense, is His character: it is who He is. The beholding of and pursuit of God’s glory in the face of Jesus Christ ought to be the Christian man’s chief enjoyment and focus. It is through this vital act that we are conformed and transformed into His glorious image; through this overriding passion our lives are transformed and the image of Jesus which we reflect becomes clearer. Our lives are given purpose, strength, peace, hope, love, and all other good things when we fixedly place our gaze on our King, Shepherd, Groom, Mediator, and Savior – Jesus Christ. Jesus’ life is the ultimate blueprint for any man’s life. His glorious character far outshines every single person ever to live, and so we will look at His character, His glory, and find therein great and vital instruction for our lives, as well as magnificent encouragement.
To possess integrity is to be whole or entire, to be unbroken; to have a mind and heart which are unbroken and persist in doing what is right or upholding what is right even when others do not or are not. It is to be pure and unadulterated from Jesus’ teachings and gospel, wholly embracing and following them without breaking. The Christian man has integrity: he holds together well; his belief of Jesus and pursuit of Him are unbroken and whole, not given to change or yielding. This is the example Jesus set forth in His life, pursuing God without a single crack in the integrity of His devotion, and it is the standard to which we are called as well.
