Brief summary of how character is formed.

Character is first conceived in the mind which then affects the actions of the persons involved. (Pro 23:7 For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he) Sow a though you reap an action, sow an action you reap a habit, sow a habit you reap an attitude, sow an attitude you reap a character, sow a character you reap a destiny The natural state of a man without salvation is terrible and it is even quoted in the Bible in Jer 17 v 9 and Gen 6:5 The Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination and intention of all human thinking was only evil continually.
