​BEGINS AND ENDS

Do we have CHARACTER because we have Moral qualities and do Moral acts: or do we do Moral acts give us CHARACTER?   Would we build a building without a foundation, and yet, does the does the size of the building confirm or attest to the strength of the foundation?  "Perseverance, CHARACTER, and CHARACTER, hope "(Romans 5:4).  Maybe CHARACTER is OUR FAITH, OUR HOPE which is tested, confirmed and refined until the impurities are removed.   MAYBE CHARACTER BEGINS AND ENDS THE CIRCLE BECOMING MORE PURE.
