This document discusses the importance of loyalty through several Bible passages and quotes. It defines loyalty as wholly trusting and being permanently faithful. It notes that true loyalty is proven through actions, not just words, and gives the example of Peter denying Jesus despite claiming he would never do so. The document suggests opportunities for disloyalty can exist towards one's spouse, friends, and Christ's church. It concludes that disloyalty stems from a divided heart between God and the world.
