Loyalty, because he was very loyal to Jesus and did what Jesus told him to do.
-
His importance to our Church
- Peter was a leader
among the apostles, the one to make the confession of Jesus as the Christ, the
Son of the Living God, and the one given the keys of the kingdom is why he is
important to our church.

nations and to be set over all the apostles and all the fathers of the church.
