Danilo Montero’s message on loyalty to God, based on 2 Chronicles 16:9, highlights the importance of being completely loyal to God. The story of King Asa illustrates how, despite receiving divine help in the past, Asa failed to rely on a political alliance instead of seeking God when he faced new challenges. Although this brought him momentary victory, God became dissatisfied and warned that he would have continuous wars. Montero explains that loyalty is a crucial virtue, defined as the willingness to act according to ideals such as goodness and justice. Loyalty has the power to strengthen relationships and communities, and for God, it is fundamental. Loyalty is compared to a covenant based on faith and love that sustains relationships for mutual good. God, being completely faithful and loyal, rewards loyalty and acts in favor of those who are loyal to him, as he did with Noah, Joseph, Elijah, and finally, with Jesus. The message also emphasizes that in our relationship with God through Jesus Christ, we are called to be loyal, trusting in his character and guided by the Holy Spirit. Abraham is presented as a model of loyalty, demonstrating faith in God's promises even in extreme trials. Loyalty to God is strengthened by trusting in his character and the teachings of Scripture.
