Lonely? Overcoming Loneliness - Film + FaithSample

How far can you take loyalty?

Loyalty is both fascinating and confusing in relationships.

It is defined as being faithful to something or someone. People will put their money, careers and lives on the line for the sake of loyalty to family, friends or countries. In Rebecca, Mrs. de Winter takes the whole characteristic of loyalty to a new level. You will have to watch the movie to understand why, because this is a spoiler free review.

Yet, her devotion to Maxim does beg the question; why do we choose to be loyal or faithful to someone else?

It seems to be rooted in wanting to place an implicit trust in the person we put our faith in and hoping that this loyalty will be reciprocated. The Bible plies a deeper meaning to the idea of loyalty. In the study of these words and evaluating human history, God is the only one that is completely faithful. He is faithful even when his followers are unfaithful. On the subject of loyalty, mankind's faithfulness can be fleeting, but with God we can find real loyalty and someone who is true to their word.

Loyalty remains even in adversity.

"Know that Yahweh your God is God, the faithful God who keeps His gracious covenant loyalty for a thousand generations with those who love Him and keep His commands" –Deuteronomy 7:9 (ESV).

"If we are unfaithful, he remains faithful, for he cannot deny who he is" - 2 Timothy 2:13 (ESV).
