Christian Character

Question: Why Christian character Matters? Answer: A man should submit himself to the Holy Spirit, as it can guide our way towards righteousness.

While, there are some people, who change with time and their true character comes outside after we keep on digging in their true self.

But, it takes time to develop, and the person has to work on them to attain a true Christian character.
