What does God promise as I mature in godly character?

Matthew 5:8“God blesses those whose hearts are pure, for they will see God.”

You will experience an increasing sense of God’s presence and blessing, and you will have the greater ability to see the work of God around you.

Romans 5:4Endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation.

2 Peter 1:8The more you grow like this, the more productive and useful you will be in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

As you mature in your faith, you will become stronger and stronger, and this inner strength will give you wisdom beyond your years and a spiritual power that can help you accomplish more than you ever thought possible. As your character develops, your confidence in your salvation increases, and the assurance of God’s love fills your soul.
