Build Your Character

God commands you to work hard and persevere. He says to you, I'm the one who sends you to work hard and persevere. Do not be afraid or discouraged because I, your Lord and God be with you wherever you go.

The question is: How is the effort and perseverance that God has commanded you to have? How do you achieve such an effort and perseverance? The effort and perseverance that the Lord asks you to have, is seen in the lives of men like Abraham, Joseph, Moses, Joshua, Elijah, Peter, John, Paul, and of course, Jesus Christ.

That effort and perseverance is demonstrated submitting yourself wholeheartedly to the Lord in obedience and removing all obstacles that prevent you from obeying. Turning away from people who do not follow the principles laid down by Him and rejecting any action contrary to His teachings and commands. Facing with courage the consequences resulting from your faithfulness to God and discarding any fear for what might happen to you for following him unconditionally.

Be a brave and obedient son of your Father in heaven, following the example of Jesus Christ and say, Father, not as I will, but as you will.

You need a lot of character to live alongside God´s principles and values and obeying His mandates. Your habits build your character!
