Christian Temper

1 sermons

The concept of Christian Temper refers to the demeanor and disposition of a believer, characterized by humility, patience, and kindness, as exemplified in the life of Jesus Christ. According to Galatians 5:22-23, the Christian Temper is marked by the fruit of the Spirit, including love, joy, peace, and self-control, which are cultivated through a deepening relationship with God. As Psalms 37:7-8 encourages, believers are to trust in the Lord and wait patiently for Him, demonstrating a temper that is gentle and forgiving, rather than reactive or vengeful, and as Romans 8:28 reminds us, this temper is shaped by the conviction that all things work together for good for those who love God. By embracing this Christian Temper, believers reflect the character of God and embody the teachings of Scripture in their daily lives.

Galatians 2:20

“I have been crucified with Christ, and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.”

Romans 8:17

“And if we are children, then we are heirs: heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ--if indeed we suffer with Him, so that we may also be glorified with Him.”

1 Peter 4:1

“Therefore, since Christ suffered in His body, arm yourselves with the same resolve, because anyone who has suffered in his body is done with sin. Consequently, he does not live out his remaining time on earth for human passions, but for the will of God.”

2 Timothy 2:11

“This is a trustworthy saying: If we died with Him, we will also live with Him; if we endure, we will also reign with Him; if we deny Him, He will also deny us;”

Romans 6:3

“Or aren't you aware that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? We were therefore buried with Him through baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may walk in newness of life. For if we have been united with Him like this in His death, we will certainly also be united with Him in His resurrection. We know that our old self was crucified with Him so that the body of sin might be rendered powerless, that we should no longer be slaves to sin. For anyone who has died has been freed from sin. Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with Him. For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, He cannot die again; death no longer has dominion over Him. The death He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life He lives, He lives to God. So you too must count yourselves dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.”
