Loyalty is the fruit of an intelligent appreciation of brotherhood, the first step towards self-realizing finality of liberty. [1] Sin is deliberate disloyalty to Deity, with degrees of disloyalty ranging from indecision to devotion to godless ideals. [2] Devotion is short-lived when truth has no real root, just like the seed that fell among the thorns in the parable of the sower. [3] Man must carry on amid the possibilities of betrayal and desertion, displaying the valor of devotion to duty despite the implied danger of default. [4] Courageous loyalty is a fruit of the spirit that must be shown in loving service to our fellow creatures. [5]
Mighty Messengers, belonging to the ascendant group of the Trinitized Sons, stood loyal in the face of disloyalty from their superiors and have passed a definite test of universe allegiance. [6] Struggling for loyalty to the great, good, true, and noble causes is necessary for growth amidst religious perplexities and philosophic commotion. [7]
Preventing rebellion is of higher value than resisting; ascendant mortals who function loyally in the face of rebellion become Mighty Messengers, while those who prevent upheavals are regarded even more highly. [8] Yielding loyalty to the highest dictates of spiritual consciousness is the essence of true religion. [9]
Amadon's seven years of waiting led to amazing acts of loyalty, empowered by his soul discipline and heart searching. [10] Children are permanently impressed by the loyalty of their adult associates, as it fosters growth and inspires lasting change. [11] Human loyalties, once mobilized, are hard to change, hindering the evolution of political sovereignty from the family to all mankind. [12] Jesus prioritized family responsibility above all else, fulfilling the most sacred of all human trusts in loyalty to his own flesh and blood. [13] Roman education bred an unheard-of loyalty, shaping politically devoted, consecrated, honest, zealous, and dedicated individuals. [14] Jesus harmoniously unified personal faith, spiritual hope, and moral devotion with a profound reverence for the sacredness of all human loyalties. [15] Loyalty to human associations and institutions is beneficial, but the ultimate goal of human self-realization should be spiritual, not material. [16]
Jesus demands loyalty, not sacrifice, for true service is born out of friendship and wholehearted affection. [17] Living loyally causes growth, impressing children more than precept or example. [18] Gabriel ensured that only voluntary, wholehearted, and sophistry-proof loyalty was expected from all beings for Michael's government. [19]
