This refers to the state of one's heart and mind when it is submitted to the Lordship of Jesus Christ.
By grace through faith, our eternal destiny is secured. While we await our 'home-going', the process of sanctification seeks to transform us. Spiritual Integrity takes root and grows when we yield to the Holy Spirit ... becoming more and more evident in our walk of faith as we mature.
Unlike some religious 'weathervane' that changes direction depending on today's 'social wind', we are to be unyielding in our allegiance to our Lord and Savior ... consistent in every thought, word, and deed.
John MacArthur - In our society, those whose lives are marked by moral soundness, uprightness, honesty, and sincerity are usually thought of as people of integrity. However, society’s standards often fall far short of God’s. Spiritual integrity calls for the highest possible standard of behavior and requires supernatural resources available only to those who trust in Him.
Have singleness of heart, singleness of mind, singleness of vision, and singleness of purpose. In this world, your integrity will constantly be put to the test. Stay focused on the mission at hand. Refuse to compromise.
One who walks in integrity walks securely, but one who perverts his ways will be found out. Proverbs 10:9
In His power, take a stand. God delights in granting special grace and favor to those whose hearts are stayed on Him.
