integrity

You may excel in righteousness in one area of your life by sheer determination, but have weaknesses in others. Yet my word teaches you to be pure and holy in every area of your life. This is the meaning of integrity, referring to the soundness of anything that requires every part to work properly for the whole system to work. One faulty part can cause a car to break down or an airplane to crash. So one area of failure can ruin a life as well. Does this discourage you because it seems like an impossible standard to meet? Let not your heart be troubled. Continue to trust in me and I will complete the good work I have begun in you.
