What Makes VIRTUE Impress God?

Oct 22, 2025    Pastor Robert R. McLaughlin

The discussion emphasized the distinction between morality and virtue, highlighting that morality alone does not impress God. Elihu's teachings in Job 35:6-7 underscored that sin and righteousness do not affect God. McLaughlin outlined seven principles of virtue: morality with virtue, personal love for God, respect for authority, reverence for God, justice, self-control, and consistency. Virtue was described as the visible manifestation of the invisible, rooted in metabolized doctrine and the Holy Spirit. Arrogance was contrasted with virtue, with the latter being essential for a fulfilling Christian life and successful judgment at the Bema Seat.
