222B - The Christian Character

In this message, I outlined 15 things or attributes seen in the character of a born-again Christian. I encourage you to listen to the podcast and gain an understanding of what the Word of God says it is to be a Christian. Things all Christians should be doing: 1) We are to be born again. Our character is the result of the New Birth. (The concept of being born again is discussed in Message 222A - Born Again to Conquer.) It's the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ, which makes it possible for us to be born of the Spirit. 2) We are to grow and be nourished in the Word of God (1 Peter 2:2; 2 Peter 3:18). 3) We are to put on a new set of clothes (Isaiah 61:10; Colossians 3:12-15). 4) We are to live a radiant life (Matthew 5:16). 5) We are to build our character upon the rock of Jesus Christ (Matthew 7:24-27). 6) We are to have fellowship with God (1 John 1:6,7). 7) We are to realize that we are truly children of God (Romans 8:16,17). 8) We are to be educated; schooled by the Spirit (John 8:31,32; 2 Timothy 2:15). 9) We are at war and fighting the good fight of faith, having put on the whole armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18). 10) We are to be a servant; a witness (I Timothy 6:18; Acts 1:8). 11) We are to walk as a Christian. The entire book of Ephesians talks about walking the walk. 12) We are to run our race (Hebrews 12:1; I Corinthians 9:24). 13) We must realize that being a Christian is a sacrifice (Romans 12:1). 14) We are to walk in victory (I John 5:4). And lastly, 15) We have the assurance of eternal life (1 John 5:13). This message covers the points and scriptures I've outlined in this introduction and many more to illustrate these 15 points. I pray you'll study each point I present as an encouragement in your own Christian walk.
