Consistent Character
This definition from Got Questions is consistent with scriptural understanding and it reveals the broad nature of this study.
Character is defined as strength of moral fiber. A.W. Tozer described character as 'the excellence of moral beings.' As the excellence of gold is its purity and the excellence of art is its beauty, so the excellence of man is his character. Persons of character are noted for their honesty, ethics, and charity. Descriptions such as 'man of principle' and 'woman of integrity' are assertions of character. A lack of character is moral deficiency, and persons lacking character tend to behave dishonestly, unethically, and uncharitably.
A person's character is the sum of his or her disposition, thoughts, intentions, desires, and actions. It is good to remember that character is gauged by general tendencies, not on the basis of a few isolated actions.
