The Charachter of a 6:3 Disciple

“Character over competency”

A Good Reputation - Heartfelt devotion to exemplary Living

Philippians 2:14–16 CSB

Do everything without grumbling and arguing, so that you may be blameless and pure, children of God who are faultless in a crooked and perverted generation, among whom you shine like stars in the world, by holding firm to the word of life. Then I can boast in the day of Christ that I didn’t run or labor for nothing.

Full of the Holy Spirit

Ephesians 5:18 CSB

And don’t get drunk with wine, which leads to reckless living, but be filled by the Spirit:

“Churches are either cemeteries or insane Asylums (holy Spirit) “- Jim Cymbala

Full of Wisdom (Hunger for God’s Wisdom)

James 3:17–18 CSB

But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peace-loving, gentle, compliant, full of mercy and good fruits, unwavering, without pretense. And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who cultivate peace.
