Understanding Kingdom Character (Audio Blog)

It’s been said that your reputation is what people say about you but your character is what God knows about you. You can’t chase every lie and you can’t address every false claim. What you and I can and should do is know who we are and be intentional about developing our character. Character isn’t developed by accident. It is sculpted by the trials we face and shaped by the circumstances we endure. Here’s a formula to remember: Challenges plus endurance will multiply your character.

A large part of discovering your purpose is discovering how it fits into God’s Kingdom plan. While on earth, Jesus spoke and taught more about the Kingdom than about any other topic. It seems as though the thing He talked the most about has somehow become the thing we talk the least about. Furthermore, He lived in such a way that we have a model for how we should live and what level of character we should ascribe to.

From Genesis to Revelation the word ‘Kingdom’ is used 365 times. Of those, it is communicated at least 155 times in the New Testament. If we parse that out further and examine the gospels (Matt, Mark, Luke, John) Jesus Himself says “Kingdom” 122 times that we know about!

I remember in school the teacher always told us that if he/she repeated a statement more than once the likelihood that it would be on the test was greatly increased. Based on this standard how many of us would be able to pass a test on the central theme of Jesus’ teaching?
