The document discusses righteous character as the fruit of salvation produced in believers' lives by Jesus Christ. It says this righteous character brings glory and praise to God when seen in believers' lives. It provides scriptural support showing how living by the Spirit and allowing Him to produce fruit in one's life glorifies God. Producing much fruit as true disciples through righteous character brings great glory to the Father.

We have essentially told him that Jesus would give him all the things that would enhance his life. Then when persecution and tribulation comes, he falls away. When life gets hard, he becomes bitter, casting off the Savior and consequently resenting those that had told him the “good news”.
People need to hear the essential elements of the Gospel in order to be saved. They will not be saved by hearing your testimony but by the truth of the Gospel. Declare the complete message of redemption for forgiveness and eternal life thru Jesus.
Evangelism? It is to present Jesus Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit to sinful people, in order that they may come to put their trust in Christ. Is communicating the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Today it is not fashionable to preach a gospel that demands repentance. But the gospel that Jesus preached was call to faith as much as it was summons to repent and forsake sin.
From His first message to His last, the Savior’s theme was calling people to repent.

The first teaching in the series "Growing Deep in the Gospel". In this teaching we answer the question "Why is the Gospel Important?" by looking at Romans 1:16, several other Bible verses and quotes from pastors and Christian authors. Then in light of the importance of the gospel we look at what we should do with the gospel.
The word ‘grace’ is not always used in the same sense as in the bible. If you look up grace in the dictionary you will see that there are multiple meanings. Divine grace in particular is often misunderstood & misinterpreted by people. This presentation will clarify exactly what God’s grace is and how it is pertinent to our salvation.
The second study in our "Growing Deep in the Gospel" series in which we answer the question, "What is the Gospel?" In answering the question we looked at how the word "gospel" was used in Jesus' day and how the Bible describes the gospel. We also looked at what is the heart of the gospel, a outline of the basic gospel message and an outline of the gospel based on the entire Bible.

Suffering is the necessity of the Christian life. Perseverance is a characteristic of a true believer. Christians must anticipate that the world will fight against the implementation of God's Kingdom on earth. Why? Because what the world, sin within mankind ans Satan value is the 180 degrees opposite of the Kingdom of God.
The "Learning and Living the God-centered life" had a retreat in which the theme was The Gospel. Here is our Friday night teaching was specifically designed to exhort each of us to stay steadfast in Christ!
This is a study of Jesus being the one believers waited for. He was to be revealed and they were waiting for that amazing event, and so should it be for all believers as we live our daily life looking for His coming again.
The Book of Joshua is the sixth book in the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament, and is the first book of the Deuteronomistic history, the story of Israel from the conquest of Canaan to the Babylonian exile.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

each chakra is studied in greater detail, several steps have been included to
strengthen your personal intention to open each chakra more fully. These are designed
to draw forth the highest benefit for your spiritual growth.
2. Righteous Character
Philippians 1:9-11 - I pray that
your love will overflow more and
more, and that you will keep on
growing in knowledge and
understanding. 10For I want you
to understand what really
3. matters, so that you may live
pure and blameless lives until the
day of Christ’s return. 11May you
always be filled with the fruit
of your salvation - the
righteous character produced
in your life by Jesus Christ -
for this will bring much glory
and praise to God. NLT
4. I. Fruit of your Salvation
(Righteousness)
This is the Righteous Character
Christ imputed to your account
at conversion
5. Be more concerned with your
character than with your reputation.
Your character is what you really are
while your reputation is merely what
others think you are.
Sanctity of Life, C. Swindoll, Word, 1990, p.
6. What is in Process,
What is Continuing?
The expression of this
Righteous Character
When it is seen it is the
Fruit of the Spirit
7. In order for the Fruit of your
Salvation to be seen in your life
you must abide in Christ.
This is the continuing or process
portion of what the
Apostle is saying.
8. We need Him for salvation and
we need Him to express
righteous character.
The measure of a man’s real
character is what he would do if he
knew he would never be found out.

9. Galatians 5:16-25 – So I say, let
the Holy Spirit guide your
lives. Then you won’t be doing
what your sinful nature craves.
17The sinful nature wants to do
evil, which is just the opposite of
what the Spirit wants.
10. And the Spirit gives us desires
that are the opposite of what the
sinful nature desires. These two
forces are constantly fighting
each other, so you are not free to
carry out your good intentions.
18But when you are directed by
the Spirit, you are not under
obligation to the law of Moses.
11. 19When you follow the desires of
your sinful nature, the results are
very clear: sexual immorality,
impurity, lustful pleasures,
20idolatry, sorcery, hostility,
quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of
anger, selfish ambition,
dissension,
12. division, 21envy, drunkenness,
wild parties, and other sins like
these. Let me tell you again, as I
have before, that anyone living
that sort of life will not inherit the
Kingdom of God.
13. 22But the Holy Spirit produces
this kind of fruit in our lives: love,
joy, peace, patience, kindness,
goodness, faithfulness,
23gentleness, and self-control.
There is no law against these
things!.
14. 24Those who belong to Christ
Jesus have nailed the passions
and desires of their sinful nature
to his cross and crucified them
there. 25Since we are living by the
Spirit, let us follow the Spirit’s
leading in every part of our lives.
NLT
15. Fame is a vapor, Popularity an
accident. Riches take wings.
Only one thing endures,
Character.
Horace Greely
16. James 3:18 – And those who are
peacemakers will plant seeds of
peace and reap a harvest of
righteousness.
Character is much better kept
than recovered.
Thomas Paine
17. The Fruit of Righteousness also
includes winning people to Christ.
18. Romans 1:13 - I want you to
know, brothers, that I have often
intended to come to you (but thus
far have been prevented), in
order that I may reap some
harvest among you as well as
among the rest of the Gentiles. ESV
19. Colossians 1:4-6 - For we have
heard of your faith in Christ Jesus
and your love for all of God’s
people, 5which come from your
confident hope of what God has
reserved for you in heaven. You
have had this expectation ever
since you first heard the truth of
the Good News.
20. 6This same Good News that
came to you is going out all over
the world. It is bearing fruit
everywhere by changing lives,
just as it changed your lives from
the day you first heard and
understood the truth about God’s
wonderful grace. NLT
21. The best index to a person’s
character is:
How he treats people who can’t
do him any good, and
How he treats people who can’t
fight back.
Abigail Van Buren
22. God has little patience with those
weak souls who say to
themselves, “I shall go this far
and no farther.” Is it up to the
creature to make the law for his
Creator? What would a king say
of a subject, or a master of a
servant, who only served him in
23. his own way, who feared to care
too much for his interests, and
who was embarrassed in public
because of belonging to him?
What will the King of Kings say to
us if we act like these cowardly
servants?
Francois Fenelon
24. II. for this will bring much glory
and praise to God.
25. John 15:8 - When you produce
much fruit, you are my true
disciples. This brings great glory
to my Father. NLT
26. 1 Corinthians 10:31 – So
whether you eat or drink, or
whatever you do, do it all for the
glory of God. NLT
27. I think we delight to praise what
we enjoy because the praise not
merely expresses but completes
the enjoyment. It is not out of
compliment that lovers keep on
telling one another how beautiful
they are; the delight is incomplete
till it is expressed. C. S. Lewis
28. Ephesians 1:11-14 –
Furthermore, because we are
united with Christ, we have
received an inheritance from
God, for he chose us in
advance, and he makes
everything work out according
to his plan.
29. 12God’s purpose was that we
Jews who were the first to trust in
Christ would bring praise and
glory to God.
30. 13And now you Gentiles have
also heard the truth, the Good
News that God saves you. And
when you believed in Christ, he
identified you as his own by
giving you the Holy Spirit, whom
he promised long ago.
31. 14The Spirit is God’s guarantee
that he will give us the
inheritance he promised and that
he has purchased us to be his
own people. He did this so we
would praise and glorify him.
NLT
