Bible Study For Men On Loyalty (Character)
Character - Loyalty
This Bible study on loyalty can be used by one person alone or in a small group. It is short (20 to 30
mins) but if you read each passage, reflect on it, and discuss it, you'll gain a good sense of what
loyalty really means, its demands, and its rewards.
In the dictionary, the word loyal means unswerving in allegiance as 1) faithful allegiance to ones
sovereign or government, 2) faithful to a private person to whom fidelity is due, 3) faithful to a
cause, ideal or custom. Synonyms are: faithful, allegiance, devotion, dedication, constant,
unwavering, steady, and unfailing.
Whats the difference between being loyal to a local sports team, say the Bull Dogs or Magpies, and
being loyal to the coach of a team for which you play? (Hint: notice that the definition above implies
that what you are loyal to should be deserving of your loyalty.)
Think of the people, organizations, teams, causes, etc. to which you are (or have been) loyal. Which
ones are deserving of your loyalty? Which ones are not?
