Someone has said, “Life evokes character.” We learn who we are by living, and we become different when we learn to live in the ways Jesus taught us. If “Life evokes character,” Jesus through the processes of His grace can transform character. He did not come to us to give us a ticket to the hereafter, looking the other way from our sins. He came into us to create transformation by making us a new creation. He teaches us how to be sincere, genuine and holy. Obedience to the Holy Spirit of Jesus can create a character shaped like His.
“Keep a firm grasp on both your character and your teaching. Don’t be diverted. Just keep at it. Both you and those who hear you will experience salvation.” 1 Timothy 4:16 (MSG)
