Building Servant Leader Character

Gary E. Roberts

Chapter Chapter 3 in Developing Christian Servant Leadership, 2015, pp 37-45 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract One of the great paradoxes of the Christian faith is that the foundational principles are simple to grasp and communicate, but extremely challenging to practice. Salvation is freely given to all those who confess Jesus as Lord, but confession is an insufficient though necessary condition for achieving the fruits of the Holy Spirit and “working out our salvation with fear and trembling.” It is relatively easy to become a Christian but immensely challenging to live as one. We must struggle against three powerful enemies: the inherently self-centered motives of the flesh, the temptations produced by the worldly idols of success and affirmation, and the presence of spiritual evil.
