In this 3/15/2020 sermon, Elder Michael Gowens continues the study called "The Distinguishing Traits of Christian Character," a series of messages based on the Beatitudes in Matthew 5. Thus far, the Lord Jesus identifies his true followers by humility, contrition for sin, and an attitude of self-forgetfulness. Now, Beatitude #4, as Matthew 5:6 indicates, identifies true Christians by an attitude of spiritual ardor and longing: "Blessed are they that hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled."
