Are any of these You?

Good Morning! My Vs is kind of long today,but meaningful. 2Tim 3:1-5 But mark this; There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God-having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them. WOW! What a warning we get here from Paul about people in the last days. Kinda sounds like today? The thing that is bothering me,is I can look at this list of things that people will be and find about 4 or 5 things that I do. WOW again! Does that mean I am not a Christian and I am a bad person? In Philip 1:6 it says, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. Paul was warning us against those people who will try and sway us from the truth. But for us who know the truth,it is a message that being a Christian is about being Changed from these things Paul is talking about. At a point in my life I had all those bad quality's. But thanks be to God through Jesus he is changing these Character Defects in my life. I still have a way to go,but don't we all? We will never be Perfect until that day we get our eternal body's. But until then as long as we are striving to be better and working on letting God help to change theses defects of character, then we are moving in the right direction. Paul is right about one thing. If you know someone who does not want to change, but is happy living with all these Bad Attributes. Then stay away from them, because you can do nothing for them, but pray for them. And they will definitely be no good for you! HABD
