PART - 2
 Romans 5:3-5 – “More than that,
we rejoice in our sufferings,
knowing that suffering produces
endurance, and endurance
produces character, and character
produces hope, and hope does not
put us to shame, because God’s
love has been poured into our
hearts through the Holy Spirit who
has been given to us.”
“The reality is that we are all
lacking in moral character”

The 9 Elements of Good Character

But the fruit of the Spirit is love,

joy, peace, forbearance,
kindness, goodness,
faithfulness, gentleness and
self-control. Against such things
there is no law.

Galatians 5:22-23
Character is what defines
you.

It’s what people see in

you.
 “Essentially “good”
CHARACTER is about being
selfless.”
 “Don’t be selfish; don’t try to
impress others. Be humble,
thinking of others as better than
yourselves.”

(Philippians 2:3)
“The reality is that we are all
lacking in moral character”
 “Every person have a
weakness. Therefore, don’t
be judgmental”
“There is no one righteous, not
even one.”

(Romans 3:10)
 Character is something that
you hold fast to inside, and
that people see in you on the
outside. More importantly, it is
something that God sees in
you always.
 Character is the moral
foundation of our life.
“CHARACTER” is who we
really are.
“Our character
is what we do
when we think
no one is
looking.”
H. Jackson Brown, Jr.
WHY IS CHARACTER SO
IMPORTANT?
1,) Because Character
determines our success
in life.
People that always seem to
be at war with themselves
have a problem in their
character.
 Anyone can say they
have integrity but action
is the true indicator.
2.)Success without a
good foundation of
character is bound for
failure.
Do not be misled: “Bad
company corrupts good
character.”

1 Corinthians 15:33
3. Character Brings
Lasting Success
With People.
 Ang mabuting pangalan ay
maiging piliin, kay sa malaking
kayamanan, at ang magandang
kalooban, kay sa pilak at ginto.

(Proverbs 22:1)
Good character will open
up doors for lasting
relationships with those
around you.
 A wife of noble character is
her husband’s crown, but a
disgraceful wife is like decay
in his bones.

Proverbs 12:4
HOW GOOD IS OUR
CHARACTER?
“If you think about
what you should do
for others your
character will take
care of itself.”
Woodrow Wilson
Jesus Christ is our model for this
character:
“Jesus did not come to be served,
but to serve, and to give his life as
a ransom for many.”
(Matthew 20:28)
Finally, brothers and sisters,
whatever is true, whatever is
noble, whatever is right, whatever
is pure, whatever is lovely,
whatever is admirable
– if anything is excellent or
praiseworthy – think about such
things.
Philippians 4:8
CONCLUSION :
Look at every aspect of your life;
your relationship with God, your
spouse, your children, your peers,
your employer. Identify short cuts
and short comings in those
aspects of your life and write them
down. Pray about each one.
When wealth is lost, nothing is
lost.
when health is lost something
is lost.
when character is lost all is
lost.

Billy Graham
