Godly character is defined as strength of moral fiber.

“… real maturity is that measure of development which is meant by ‘the fullness of Christ.’”  (Ephesians 4:13) [Ph]

How God Uses Your “Workplace” To Build Godly Character In You:

• God uses pressure to teach you to be responsible. “Live life, then, with a due sense of responsibility, not as people who do not know the meaning of life, but as those who do.”  (Ephesians 5:15) [Ph]

Four Ways You Can Develop Responsibility:

1. Keep your promises. “But let your word ‘yes’ be ‘yes,’ and your ‘no’ be ‘no.’ Anything more than this is from the evil one.” (Matthew 5:37)

2. Meet your deadlines. “The one who is truly lazy in his work is brother to a vandal.” (Proverbs 18:9) 

3. Do your job without having to be supervised. “⁶ Don’t work only while being watched, in order to please men, but as slaves of Christ, do God’s will from your heart. ⁷ Serve with a good attitude, as to the Lord and not to men …” (Ephesians 6:6-7)

4. Be a good steward of what’s been entrusted to you. “¹¹If you are untrustworthy about worldly wealth, who will trust you with the true riches of Heaven? ¹²And if you are not faithful with other people’s money, why should you be entrusted with money of our own?” (Luke 16:11-12) [LB]

• God uses problems to teach me character. “³ And not only that, but we also rejoice in our afflictions, because we know that affliction produces endurance, ⁴ endurance produces proven character, and proven character produces hope.” (Romans 5:3-4)

• God uses people to teach me how to really love. “Do all your work in love.”  (1 Corinthians 16:14) [GNT]

Five Types of People That Are Hard To Love:

“¹⁶ Be in agreement with one another. Do not be proud; instead, associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own estimation. ¹⁷ Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Try to do what is honorable in everyone’s eyes. ¹⁸ If possible, on your part, live at peace with everyone.  (Romans 12:16-18)
“For God is not unjust; He will not forget your work and the love you showed for His name when you served the saints—and you continue to serve them. For God is not unjust; He will not forget your work and the love you showed for His name when you served the saints—and you continue to serve them.” (Hebrews 6:10)
