Character Qualities
Growing in Christlike Character
Lasting fruit from a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
Our character is the composition of internalized values that determines our words, actions, and attitudes. “Right training” can produce outward responses (external conformity), but the essence of Godly character—the manifestation of fruit of the Holy Spirit—is only produced through a growing relationship with Jesus Christ. We are created in God’s image, designed to reflect His character, so He is seen, enjoyed, and honored through us and in us.
Consistent, enduring Godly character comes from a changed heart, and a changed heart starts with becoming a new creation in Christ (II Corinthians 5:17). Only God can empower us to live according to His ways. As we mature in Christ, right actions and attitudes will become an overflow of our love for God and others. May God be glorified as you allow Him to transform you into the image of His Son, Jesus Christ!
