"You Alone Are Loyal"-Jehovah's Matchless Loyalty

The Bible says of Jehovah: "You alone are loyal." (Revelation 15:4)  How can that be?  Have not both humans and angels at times displayed remarkable loyalty?  (Job 1:1; Revelation 4:8) And what of Jesus Christ?  Is he not God's chief "loyal one"?  (Psalm 16:10)  How, then, can it be said that Jehovah alone is loyal?

First of all, remember that loyalty is a facet of love.  Since God is love"-he being the vary personification of this quality-who  could display loyalty more completely than Jehovah? (1 John 4:8)  Really, angels and humans may reflect God's attributes, but only Jehovah is loyal to the superlative degree.  As "the Ancient of Days," he has been displaying loving-kindness longer than any creature, earthly or heavenly.  (Daniel 7:9) Hence, Jehovah is the very epitome of loyalty.  He displays this quality in a manner that no creature can match.  Consider some examples.
