________ is necessary to build other characteristics.
Love
Love
Is necessary to build other characteristics and therefore that is listed first.
Joy
To be joyful in the midst of problems is a Christian attribute that comes from God
Peace
Jewish word piece means completeness. This means a positive relationship with others around us.
Patience
As Christians we need patience as we patiently wait for Jesus’s return. That day their patients will be rewarded.
Kindness
We have to be kind to the poor and the needy. Jesus said whoever is kind to the poor tends to the Lord and that person will be rewarded accordingly.
Goodness
God alone is good. Christians act like Christ in showing and pouring out goodness to others. Jesus said many times to hate evil and do good.
Faithfulness
We need to be faithful in small as well as big matters. Just like in the parable of the servants who were given the talents.
Gentleness
Meekness or humbleness (humility) is another Christian character that would help us not to be prideful.
Self control
This would help us to be away from worldly things that would lead to the deterioration of Christian character. Jesus showed the best example for this when he resisted the temptations done by Satan when he fasted for 40 days in the wilderness.
