The nature and character of the strong man of God
The aspiring strong man of God in the image of Jesus Christ has the demeanor of both a lion and a lamb. As a lion he is a warrior ready to rise up and do battle with the forces of evil in the cause of God's kingdom or to defend his family (Proverbs 28:1). As a lamb, he is gentle and lowly, willing to be sacrificed in the service of others (Matthew 11:29; Philippians 2:5-8).
The nature and character of the aspiring strong man of God is that of God in Christ! God is love by nature. One of His character traits is mercy. When a man is born again into God's family, the Spirit of God takes up residence in him and he is brought to spiritual life. The nature and character of God are manifested in that man and become his by God's working to transform and conform him to the image of His Son (Romans 8:29; 2 Corinthians 3:17-18)!
