Credibility means honesty, trustworthiness, believability or integrity. A person who is credible is one you can trust with your money, your possessions, and your spouse. You don't worry about credible people. There is definitely a lack of credibility in the world. Everywhere we turn there are rip-off artists and con men.
Few people have that confidence and credibility to do business over a handshake.
The lack of credibility is nothing new. It began in the Garden of Eden at the Fall. It shouldn't surprise us that the world over which he has influence is filled with lies. From the Garden, men have become expert liars. Once King Frederick II of Prussia visited a Berlin prison.
