Some Thoughts on Walking in Integrity
What is integrity? What does it mean to “walk in integrity"?
The Oxford Dictionary defines integrity as:
- The quality of being honest and having strong moral and ethical principles/values and adhering to them; moral uprightness. For example: "He is known to be a man of integrity.”
- The state of being whole and undivided. For example: "upholding territorial integrity and national sovereignty."
- The condition of being unified, unimpaired, or sound in construction. For example: "The structural integrity of the novel.”
Ethics regards integrity as the honesty and truthfulness or earnestness of one's actions. Integrity can stand in opposition to hypocrisy.
The Bible translates the word “integrity” throughout its texts, and it seems to carry the meaning of simplicity, or sincerity of heart and intention, truthfulness, uprightness.
However you would define integrity, it appears to be a vanishing value in our world today.
King Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived, describes the long-term benefit of being and associating with people of integrity when he writes:
“Whoever walks in integrity walks securely.” (Proverbs 10:9)
You can describe a person with integrity as honest, truthful, decent, righteous, and trustworthy. I love being associated with people who embody integrity.
The Bible gives Hananiah few verses, but it summarizes his character nicely.
“He was a man of integrity and feared God more than most people do.” (Nehemiah 7:2)
We would do well to aim for a reputation like that. How would people describe you? What reputation precedes you?
A professor once said to his students, “I’m giving two tests today: one is trigonometry, and the other is integrity. I hope you pass them both. But if you have to fail one, fail trigonometry. There are many good people who cannot pass trigonometry. But there are no good people who cannot pass integrity.” Wise advice from a wise man.
Integrity is reflected in this prayer of King David:
“I know, my God, that you test the heart and are pleased with integrity." (1 Chronicles 29:17)
Be people of integrity, my friends. May your word be your bond. May your private life match your public persona. May your righteousness be so evident that people will know who and whose you are.
