Cultivating Character

God created us “in His own image,”1 but He’s not done yet. It’s an ongoing process. We all share some basic aspects of His nature from birth—we are eternal, spiritual beings with the capacity to reason, love, and distinguish right from wrong—but developing godly character is a lifelong process. It’s also a big part of why we’re here. What should we strive to be like? The following Bible passages give a fairly well-rounded picture:

Matthew 5:3–12
1 Corinthians chapter 13
Galatians 5:22–23
Philippians 2:3–7
2 Peter 1:5–8

  1. Genesis 1:26
