Chapter 10: "Nice People or New Men"

Jesus is in the process of making Christians perfect, as He is perfect

  • If so, can we expect all Christians to be nicer than all non-Christians?
  • Not necessarily -- we have to start from where each Christian is
  • A Christian should be becoming nicer than the person they were before they started following Christ (before He started his work in them)
  • A tree is known by it's fruit
  • When Christians fail to act Christian, we make Christianity unbelievable.
  • Some people are just born with better dispositions than others...
  • Christian is a process of transformation... some becoming more Christlike.... sadly, some becoming less... some confused and inconsistent

So, what of the individual?
