Session 21 - Developing the Character of Christ

Continuing the theme of responsibilities of being God’s sons, this session focuses on being like Christ in our behaviors.  Known as “fruit of the spirit,” the Epistle to the Galatians contains a list of nine qualities that we will exhibit as we become more Christlike.  We cannot erase our sin nature; however, we can choose to behave in a manner that displays our Christlike nature.
