Although secularly associated with a moral quality, integrity has nothing to do with morality. Integrity is the decision of the people to act according to the divine disposition. Integrity is the action that involves effort and boldness.
God forbid that I should justify you: till I die I will not remove mine integrity from me. Job 27: 5
Whoso walketh uprightly shall be saved: but he that is perverse in his ways shall fall at once. Proverbs 28:18
Integrity is a virtue equivalent to wisdom. Who achieves it gets the reputation of being a person of dignity and honor,
For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly. Psalm 84:11
Integrity develops the capacity to establish the Will of God on earth. Who is integrous is backed by God himself.
And said, Remember now, O LORD, I beseech thee, how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore. Isaiah 38: 3
Integrity is the daily effort to achieve that for which we were reached by the Lord.
Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. 13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, Philippians 3:12, 13
We cannot end this teaching without neglecting to mention the level of excellence in the integrity process: recognizing our failures, and amending them.
And David spake unto the LORD when he saw the angel that smote the people, and said, Lo, I have sinned, and I have done wickedly: but these sheep, what have they done? Let thine hand, I pray thee, be against me, and against my father’s house. 2 Samuel 24:17
