The concept of allegiance to God is central to understanding our relationship with Him. God's covenant loyalty, or chesed, is a fundamental aspect of His character, described as abounding and enduring forever. This loyalty is not universal but specifically directed towards those who fear Him, keep His covenant, and obey His commandments. In return, God expects our allegiance, creating a reciprocal relationship of loyalty. Our allegiance to God must surpass all other loyalties, as emphasized by Jesus in Luke 14:26, where He states that our loyalty to Him should be so strong that it makes other loyalties seem insignificant by comparison. This allegiance is critical to our salvation, as it requires us to remain faithful and committed to God's instructions and purposes. The Bible warns against divided loyalties, as seen in Christ's teaching that one cannot serve two masters. Christians are called to be wholly dedicated to God, seeking unity with Him and His Kingdom. This commitment is essential for enduring to the end and entering the Kingdom of God. Ultimately, our allegiance should be pledged to God, not to earthly symbols or governments, ensuring that we are indivisible with Him and aligned with true liberty and justice.

Among the billions born from Adam and Eve, only one has been fully faithful to our Creator. That One who lived among us is the ultimate reality regarding righteousness and fidelity. He never sinned, despite having the same human nature as part of His internal makeup. He was born of a human woman, yet He never allowed natural drives or attacks against Him to dominate His mind and control His personal conduct. He is our model we seek to follow. God has introduced Him to us and is calling out others who will give themselves by faith to be like Him. The Bible contains the running histories of the Israelitish peoples' intermittent relationships with God, which are awash with a multitude of highs and lows. The overall history of the relationships gives the impression that there have been far more lows than highs. The central problem in that long history from Adam and Eve on is always human. Biblically recorded history presents overwhelming amounts of evidence that God and the Israelitish people cannot get along for any extended length of time. The problems in the relationship were never with God, whose character was always beyond reproach. His Word says that He is God and He changes not. The Bible also says regarding Jesus that He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. The central internal character problem began with Adam and Eve and was exposed immediately in the Garden of Eden. Carnality impacts on every relationship. That is why there are wars, people steal, rape, murder, and lie. It seems as though that drive to sin, to react against the laws of God, are right on the tip of our tongue, right on the edge of our mind at all times. Moses met the same challenge that we face and he successfully overcame it. He was really respected, and God Himself said of Moses, "He is faithful in all My house." Moses was faithful in all of God's house, and this statement made such a strong impression on the minds of the converted authors of Scripture that it is repeated at least three more times by other men. The first person called faithful in Scripture is Moses. However, the first faithful person may well have been Abel, who died for his faithfulness. There were many others who were also faithful, such as Enoch, Noah, Shem, Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph. Just as Genesis ends and Exodus begins, Moses, the most faithful of all, comes upon the scene of biblical history. Faithfulness is the instrument of continuously living by faith. The keyword is continuously. This is not merely a person who believes something, but a person continuously, consistently acting according to God's law because at the very core of what he or she is, is faith in God and it is directing one's activity. Such a person follows it with little or no hesitation to completing a commanded act, even though it may cost them something. God is not just looking for love, especially the kind of love that the world has, which is a possessive feeling, but rather what He is looking for is faithfulness in applying His Word.

Allegiance to God requires our full and exclusive devotion. We cannot serve two masters, as Jesus explains in Matthew 6:24. God demands total allegiance and will not share our worship or service with any other entity, whether it be material wealth or any other pursuit. This principle is reinforced by the first two commandments in Exodus 20, which prohibit the worship of any other gods, emphasizing God's exclusive claim on our devotion. Jesus' rejection of Satan's offer in Matthew 4:8-10 further illustrates that we must worship and serve God alone.
