Christlike Virtues
How does our belief in Jesus Christ as our Savior impact our character and our actions? What characteristics should be evident in our lives as followers of Jesus Christ? Thankfully, God has provided plenty of guidance for us in the Bible. In this Groundwork series, we will study Christlike virtues of compassion, humility, thankfulness, gratitude, generosity, truthfulness, and forgiveness that the apostle Paul urges believers to “put on” in Colossians 3:1-17 and Ephesians 4:17-32. Together, we will look at passages in the gospels where Jesus displays these characteristics and discuss how they can shape the way we live so that we reflect Christ to those around us today.
