Character refinement. Character is important to the believer, as it works to show that we are implementing the teachings of Jesus and allowing Him to from us into His image. Character is understood to be the qualities that make us who we are. Character is also the way you truly are, not who you pretend to be on Sunday! The refinement of our character is much like refinement anywhere else, it draws out the impurities and forges in what is good! Our character needs this more than ever.
