Does God consider that loyalty is an important attribute in his people?

Dear brothers of the block chain:
To you who belong to the special people of God, and who continue to believe in Jesus Christ and live very close to him, I send you my regards.
Introduction
Let us understand this, dear brother, in Christ, that our relationship with God is generally reflected in our personal relationships. The more loyal we are to God, the more loyal we tend to be with friends and family. It is not a coincidence.
God considers loyalty an important attribute.
David considered it so important that he prayed: "Give my son Solomon a perfect heart, that he may keep your commandments, your testimonies, and your statutes" (1 Chronicles 29:19).
God wants us to remain loyal to Him, and He wants us to be loyal to the people He puts into our lives.
Perhaps this explains the many beautiful illustrations of loyalty in the Bible. For example, Jonathan was loyal to David, although it cost him his own welfare (1 Samuel 18: 4; 19: 2).
In the New Testament, we see a bond of loyalty between the apostle Paul and Barnabas, two men who contributed to changing the world for Christ, although they did not always agree.

The photo of Ruth's loyalty to her mother-in-law, Naomi.
Perhaps one of the most beautiful images of loyalty in the Scriptures is that of Ruth with her mother-in-law Naomi. Many have inscribed the words that he said in bracelets and necklaces that lead everywhere: "Wherever you go, I will go, and where you live, I will live, your people will be my people and your God, my God, I will die, and there I will be buried, so too Jehovah will make me, and I will even add, that only death will separate us from each other "(Rt 1: 16-17).

Loyalty comes from the heart and demands trust.
It is glorious to know, dear reader, that loyalty comes from the heart. He is motivated by love and wants the best for the other person. A loyal person is constant and noble. Never have to ask for your support from a friend or loyal partner.
Loyalty also demands trust. It does not give rise to any deception or suspicion.
As a result, loyal individuals connect with each other at a much deeper level than others.
A loyal person is a reliable messenger. Disloyalty causes division, especially among Christians. Loyal friends defend the other person and refuse to listen to gossip. Loyalty speaks truthfully. The loyal person is always responsible.

True loyalty is based on devotion to God and love of neighbor.
Genuine loyalty is not based on circumstances, surroundings, popularity or convenience. True loyalty is based on devotion to God and love of neighbor.
Ultimately, God always rewards those who remain loyal to Him and the people He places in our lives.
We can never defeat God with generosity, nor with loyalty.

Excellent reflection @elpastor. Loyalty is a quality, a biblical principle that is synonymous with loving kindness and is rewarded with loyalty and in fact loyalty demands that we act decisively to preserve our valuable relationships. The first we owe allegiance is to God, but if we are not able to be loyal to someone who has shown us loyalty much less we will be loyal to God. I think we should go deeper into this word.Thanks for sharing.
Blessings.
What great words, I personally believe that loyalty should be practiced as a principle, something that is taught and cultivated since childhood.
