Through Virtues
Following Jesus isn’t only about what we do—it’s about who we are becoming. As we walk with Him, the Holy Spirit shapes our character from the inside out, forming virtues that reflect the heart of Christ. These aren’t personality traits we manufacture through effort; they are qualities God grows in us through surrender, obedience, and grace.
Virtues like humility, gratitude, forgiveness, grace, and righteousness reshape how we think, respond, and relate to others. They influence how we handle conflict, success, suffering, and everyday pressures. As these virtues deepen, our lives begin to reflect Jesus more clearly—bringing freedom, stability, and lasting spiritual maturity.
For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge, and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness, and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love.
— 2 PETER 1:5-7
Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive.
— COLOSSIANS 3:12-13
Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.
— PHILIPPIANS 2:3–4
He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?
— MICAH 6:8
With all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
— EPHESIANS 4:2-3
When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with the humble is wisdom.
— PROVERBS 11:2
