In another area on the forum I had posted the quote below from the Spirit of Prophecy about "Christ's character" being perfectly reproduced in His people. On the way to work I was thinking about this quote, and just what it means to have
Christ's Character perfectly reproduced in us. I was impressed to do a study on just that....Christ's Character...I welcome any thoughts in this area using the Bible and the Spirit of Prophecy and of course our own thoughts on this as well. Since we have been told this is what Jesus is waiting for in His people before He comes to take us home with Him I feel that this should be a most important thing to study about.
quote:
The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance." Gal. 5:22, 23. This fruit can never perish, but will produce after its kind a harvest unto eternal life. {COL 68.1}"When the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come." Christ is waiting with longing desire for the manifestation of Himself in His church. When the character of Christ shall be perfectly reproduced in His people, then He will come to claim them as His own. {COL 69.1}
In The Blessed Hope
