Gifts -vs- Character

1 year ago
396

Do you desire to be like Jesus or do you desire gifts? If you want to be like The King, it requires good character as well as spiritual gifts. We need the power of Holy Spirit to live holy and pure lives but we also need to desire to have good character.

? Does God look at our gifts or does He look at our character?
? What does He see and hear?
? What is He looking for from His children?
? What moves The King's heart?

Scriptures:
2 Chronicles 16:19 NIV
For the eyes of the LORD range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose
hearts are fully committed to Him.

2 Chronicles 16:19 ESV
For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to give strong support to those whose heart is blameless toward Him.
...Wholly devoted to Him
...Loyal to Him
...Perfect towards Him

Matthew 5:8
Blessed are the PURE in HEART for they shall see God.

1 Samual 16:7 But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but THE LORD LOOKS AT THE HEART.”

Isaiah 55:8-9
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord.
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are My ways higher than your ways,
And My thoughts than your thoughts.

1 Corinthians 15:33 Do not be deceived: “Bad company corrupts good morals.”

1 Cor. 13:1-3 If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn’t love others, I would only be a NOISY GONG or a CLANGING CYMBAL.
If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I understood all of God’s secret plans and possessed all knowledge, and if I had such faith that I could move mountains, but didn’t love others, I would be nothing. If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it; but if I didn’t love others, I would have gained nothing.

Galatians 5:22-23 “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.”

1 Thessalonians 4:1 “As for other matters, brothers and sisters, we instructed you how to live in order to please God, as in fact you are living. Now we ask you and urge you in the Lord Jesus to do this more and more.”

Ephesians 4:1 “I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called.”

Colossians 1:10 “...so that you may walk in a manner worthy of the Lord and may please Him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God.”

1 Peter 1:13-16
Be Holy
Therefore, with minds that are alert and fully sober, set your hope on the grace to be brought to you when Jesus Christ is revealed at his coming. 14 As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. 15 But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; 16 for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.”

Colossians 3:23-24 (NASB) “Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord and not for people, knowing that it is from the Lord that you will receive the reward of the inheritance. It is the Lord Christ whom you serve.”

Proverbs 10:9 “Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but whoever takes crooked paths will be found out.”

Proverbs 28:18 “He who walks with integrity will be kept safe, but whoever is perverse in his ways will suddenly fall.”

1 Samuel 16:1-13
