Last week, we looked at the Environment that the spirit of anti-christ tries to promote. This week, we'll see how it seeks to affect us in our Character.
Once the environment is created, the goal is for it to have an effect on us, so that what's on the inside alters what is on the outside. While there are many character issues, we'll narrow down our focus to the top 5.
What are the most important character issues in the Word of God?
1) Love
I Thessalonians 5:13
I Timothy 6:10
2 Timothy 3:2
Jude 1:21
2) Faith
Acts 26:17-18
Mark 11:22
Acts 14:22
Romans 1:17
Romans 5:1-2
I Corinthians 2:4-8
Galatians 2:20
Darkness comes from Satan. He wants to get you into works. You're not forgiven, healed, or anything else because you deserve it or earn it. We step out of the realm of faith when we step into works.
3) Hope
Hebrews 6:17-20 & 7:18-19
I Peter 1:21
Hope is an anchor that holds us steady.
4) Patience
I Thessalonias 1:2-3
2Thessalonians 1:4
2 Thessalonias 3:5
I Timothy 6:10-11
Hebrews 6:11-12
Patience during trials and tribulations builds up our spiritual endurance, so we can finish our course in victory.
5) Thankfulness
Psalms 100:4-5
Romans 1:21-22
Colossians 3:15
God provided the Israelites with food, water, heat, cooling, health, and clothing that didn't wear out, but they were ungrateful. God values appreciation.
