THE One who is most outstanding in all the universe for the quality of loyalty is the Creator himself! From him stems this quality in all his intelligent creatures. By persons who highly value loyalty he can be called upon to exercise loyalty in times of need.

Who will not really fear you, Jehovah, and glorify your name, because you alone are loyal? For all the nations will come and worship before you, because your righteous decrees have been made manifest.”​—Revelation 15:1-4.

The psalmist David made the same estimate of those divine qualities, for he wrote: “Jehovah is righteous in all his ways and loyal in all his works.” (Psalm 145:17) Jehovah as the Supreme Judge will take up the case of those who worship and serve him, just as an angel is reported as saying to him: “You, the One who is and who was, the loyal One, are righteous, because you have rendered these decisions.”​—Revelation 16:4, 5.

However, above all other things, to what is the Most High God Jehovah loyal? It is to his kingdom, to his own kingship, for he is rightfully the Sovereign over all the universe that he created. He cannot deny himself as to what he actually is.
