Character and Obedience

The character which God prizes is that which is in harmony with His eternal law of right, in other words, the reflection of His own character. This was perfectly manifest in Christ Jesus, who came for the one purpose of doing the will of the Father. "I delight to do Thy will, O My God, yea, Thy law is within My heart." "I have kept My Father's commandments, and abide in His love." "My meat is to do the will of Him that sent Me, and to accomplish His work." These sayings of the Son of God reveal His character,—a character which the sinful world has admired and acknowledged as the one superior to all, and which those "born again" love above all things else. One is worth only what his character is worth.
