Be careful of your actions.
Be Careful of Your Actions: Our behaviors are what people are going to judge us for, not our intentions. It doesn’t matter if you have a good heart; if your behaviors are bad, you are bad.
Remember that God doesn’t bless intentions; he blesses actions. Being a Christian means that we have exceptional characters and unique personalities.
The good news is that we are not alone in this journey of life because we have the spirit of God. We all have heard or read about the fruits of the spirit, and if we do our best, we can bear those fruits.

The rest of the world has the advantage of acting how they want to, but we do not. Our Heavenly Father wants us to represent him here on earth through our behaviors.
If we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and personal savior, he will come inside of us and dwell. God really loves us; that’s why he sent his only son to die for us so that we could come back to him.
Following the teachings of our Lord Jesus will help us live a life that reflects his lordship. As Christians, we all know that God is love, and we are to love others.
Characters that we are meant to have
- Studying the Bible: The holy book is given to us by God so that we can have a guide on how to live a godly life. Following the teachings of Jesus Christ helps us understand love, kindness, forgiveness, and humility.
- Talking to God: Prayer is a way for us Christians to talk to God, so it is important to develop a strong prayer life. It helps us to seek guidance, strength, and wisdom from God.
- Show love and care: As children of God, we must show love and kindness to people around us. It doesn’t matter the background or the past of the person because God is love, and it has to show in character.
- Forgive others: No matter the situation, you must learn to forgive others as Christ has forgiven us. Let go of grudges and hatred in your heart against anyone so that you can live in peace. Seek forgiveness anytime issues arise.
- Integrity: The way we live really matters because the world is watching us all the time. It is important for us to be honest and truthful in all situations, for we are representing God.
- Help Others: As Christians, we are not expected to be selfish because we live for Christ. When we see people in need, let’s do our best to offer any help we can. It doesn’t matter how much we have at the moment; what matters is the heart.
The spirit of God will help us when we have decided to walk with him. Life can be hard sometimes, but no matter what we are facing, good character matters.
People can be mean to us, but we are not to be mean to them; instead, we can pray for them to change.
