Every one of us is moulded by various factors that make us who we are. These factors can be either good or bad, and include such things as parenting styles, cultures, teachers, peers and even the negative effects of divorce, drugs, violence, etc. All these experiences affect how we view ourselves, how we react to situations, how we relate to each other, how we respond to conflict and, ultimately, how we walk daily with God.
This book seeks to show that the child of God is a “vessel” – useful and consecrated for God as described in 2 Timothy 2:20-21. By examining the composition and makeup of each vessel and its purpose, we can better understand how God designed us to be capable of living a life worthy of His call. It also identifies the means to help gain victory over sin in all circumstances, irrespective of how we have been influenced throughout our lives. God made us all unique and by moulding and guiding our lives, He has given us the strength and ability to stand in the face of the darkest moments, the deepest trials and the fiercest temptations.
This book is suitable for anyone interested in learning about the Christian faith or Christians seeking encouragement to persevere. Also, it is suitable for individuals seeking to live a fulfilled life. It can be used as a study guide for Bible groups or individual reading. Helpful tools and hints are provided throughout to assist us in allowing God to remould our character to be more like His original design for us. The book is focused on the truth revealed in biblical text and not intended to be slanted towards any particular denomination.
