Character is the Preferred Choice

There are things weightier than miracles and financial breakthroughs in the Christian faith. The Pilgrim can actually be distracted from his pilgrimage on earth by them. In 2 Timothy 2:20-21, Paul wrote “In a large house there are articles not only of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay; some are for special purposes and some for common use. Those who cleanse themselves from the latter will be instruments for special purposes, made holy, useful to the Master and prepared to do any good work”. Of greater import on our pilgrimage on earth is the pursuit of holiness for “without holiness no one will see the Lord”-Hebrews 12:14. The reason why God does not call us home as soon as we become Christians is because He wants us to cleanse yourself by being “transformed by the renewing of your mind”-Romans 12:2. Character is the ONLY thing we will take with us to The Kingdom of God. So answer this question-have you got character or have you got miracles? It is best to have both. But if you cannot have both and must have one, then character is the preferred choice because Jesus said “by their fruits ye shall know them”-Matthew 7:20.
