Last week I spent quite a bit of time talking about how our character is important. But how do we BUILD Character? It’s not easy and it takes time, but it is worth it!
When it comes to instruction on building the Christian character, there is no better guide than Romans Chapter 12:
- Become a Living Sacrifice, Holy, Acceptable to God (v. 1)
- Be Transformed by Renewing Your Mind (v. 2)
- Don’t be Arrogant, Think Soberly (v. 3)
- Use Your God Given Gifts (v. 4-8)
- Love Without Hypocrisy (v. 9)
- Despise All That is Evil, Hold on to Good Things (v. 9)
- Be Devoted to Each Other with Brotherly Love (v. 10)
- Give Preference to Each Other with Honor (v. 10)
- Don’t be Lazy, be Enthusiastic While Serving the Lord (v. 11)
- Rejoice in Hope, be Patient During Trouble (v. 12)
- Continue Steadfastly in Prayer (v. 12)
- Help Needy Brothers & Sisters, be Hospitable (v. 13)
- Bless Those that Hurt You (v. 14)
- Be of the Same Mind Toward Each Other, be Humble (v. 16)
- Don’t be Vengeful, be Peaceable with All People (v. 17-20)
- Don’t be Overcome with Evil, Overcome Evil with Good (v. 21)
