2. “Ang pagkiggubat batok sa

nga giaway sukad. Ang pagtugyan sa
kaugalingon, ang pagtahan sa tanan
ngadto sa kabubut-on sa DIOS...”
Steps to Christ, p.43
3. 2 CORINTHIANS 3 :18
We all, with unveiled face, beholding
as in a mirror the glory of the Lord,
are being transformed into the same
image from glory to glory, just as by
the Spirit of the Lord.
4. WORTH TO PONDER
“ One of the most dangerous
times in life is when you keep
going to Church but not
growing in GOD.”

“As a people we are not
advancing in spirituality as we
near the end. My heart aches day
and night for our churches-Many
are progressing but in a back
track.”
7. The purpose of our devotional life is
not merely to satisfy a requirement of
God, or to learn interesting stories of
the Bible.

hearts and lives so that our character
reflects the character of Jesus.
8. “ Information without application
is useless.
We need more than information;
we need total transformation
that will result glorification.”

Right characters can be formed only
by persevering, untiring effort, by
improving every entrusted talent and
capability to the glory of God.”

wrong position by censure and
reproach; but many have thus been
driven from Christ and led to seal their
hearts against conviction.”
The Influence of a Christlike Character
Thoughts from the Mount of
11. “ Jesus did not suppress one word of
truth, but He uttered it always in love.
He exercised the greatest tact and
thoughtful, kind attention...with the
people. He was never rude, never
needlessly spoke a severe word, never
gave needless pain to a sensitive
soul.”
Steps to Christ,
12. “If the truth we profess does not
make us like JESUS, it will lose its

No man can believe for
another....No man can impart to
another the character which is the
fruit of the Spirit's working.”
God'sAmazingGrace,p.214
15. “When the enemy comes in like a
flood, the Spirit of the Lord will lift
up a standard against him.
We must understand that
transformation of character is not
an effortless experience.”
Strength for the Struggle
16. “ But Christ has given us no
assurance that to attain
perfection of character is an
easy matter...”
Christ’s Object

is not inherited. It does not
come to us by accident…It is
formed by hard, stern battles
with self...”
Christ’s Object
18. “Not even God can make our
characters noble or our lives useful,
unless we become coworkers with
