有些人说一个人的性格就是他。他长大成为怎样的人，选择怎样的路，做怎样的工作，跟怎样的人结婚都跟他的性格有关。我们也成听到有人说：一个人三岁定八十。这如同看一个人三岁的性格就知道他到了八十岁还有那种性情的痕迹。这如同在一个三岁的孩子就看得出他比较温顺的个性，他到八十岁也的确还是如此。或有些孩子从小就看得出他很急躁，长大后真的带有很急性的性情。那么，我们人都有好坏的观念，特别是当人生活在一个群体，我们都比较喜爱能带来合群与效力的性格。比如说：在一个课堂里，性格比较听劝与好学的学生是老师梦寐以求的。在一个讲究效力的公司，性格比较果断，也适应力比较强，且能变通的员工是比较受欢迎。这些都似乎与人的性格有关。所以，人处在怎样的环境，就自然对人的性格有选择性的要求。那因为有这个好与坏或理想与不理想之分，人很自然就会想到要在自己身上发挥他好的性格，然后改善他有欠缺的性格。所以，这就是我们所说的“后天的塑造”。我们做父母的都盼望不管自己孩子生来有怎样的性格，我们能借着后天的塑造来让他成为更加品德兼优，且受人欢迎的人。所以，现在的教育不是单单将学术方面的事教好，也一直在强调品格方面的塑造。无论是做学生、员工、公民，都要成为有爱心、有慈心、有公德心、有进取心、有爱国之心等的人。的确，人性里都包含着人的个性，而且正面的个性的确能带出某些的优势力。例如：个性友善的人比较受人欢迎；个性勤奋的人总是能将书读好或把工作做好。所以人就一直强调要塑造一个人的个性。特别在今天的社会里，人越来越相信人的个性能带来的效力，尤其是某些的事物是拥有某些的个性的人才能办得好。例如：要做管理的人一定要有领导和果断的性格。因此，在选拔国家领袖时，国家都对候选人进行认真的人格分析。但有时环境越来越复杂，人又发现单靠一个人优势的个性不能，需要多种个性的人在一起才能带出有效力的结果。无论如何，探讨与注重人的性格的做法在现在的时代是越来越盛行。所以，现在不管是学校，公司或是教会都提倡心理学，要让人发现自己的性格的长处，也将能合作的人放在一起来完成项目或事工。这时代的教育观念也尽量要有包容性，所以尽可能不将人与身俱来的性格看为消极。例如：某某学生的问题不是叛逆性，只是有领导性。某某人的问题不是消极性，只是比较有谨慎性；在此真理怎么说呢？那么当我们谈到属灵的生命，性格有没有关系？有些人的性格看起来比较固执，所以不容易顺服神的话，也不容易顺服教会领袖。有的人脾气比较坏，自尊心比较强，听了神的话许久也不改变，跟人也常出现问题。有的人个性比较温顺，也比较明理，似乎比较容易与其他肢体相处与同工。或者有的人疑心比较重，不容易相信牧师讲的，有的比较单纯，一听就信。所以，我们不得不问一个人的性格与他的蒙恩有关系吗？当然，按着真理，我们都知道一个人能重生与成圣都纯粹是圣灵的工作，但对于人性格方面所带来的种种实因，我们又如何解释呢？若我们与生俱来的个性在人看来不是这么占优势，我们又如何借着真理的眼光来看待此事呢？

Some people say that one’s personality is himself. The person he grows up to be, the path he chooses, the jobs he does, the kind of person he marries - they are all related to his personality. We may have heard some people saying that one’s personality at 80 years old is determined at aged 3. This is similar to when we look at the personality of a 3-year-old, we will still see traces of that trait when he is 80 years old. If we can see that a 3-year-old child has a relatively docile personality, at 80 years old, he will still be the same. Or when we see some children who are impatient since young, when they grow up, they will also be easily anxious. Well, we humans have the perceptions of good and bad, especially when people live in a community, we all prefer personalities that can bring about cohesiveness and effectiveness. For example, it is a teacher’s dream to have a student whose personality is one that listens and is keen to learn. In a company that focuses on effectiveness, employees who are more decisive, have strong adaptability, and flexibility are more popular. These all seem to be related to human personality. Therefore, depending on the kind of environment people are in, they naturally have selective preferences on the personalities they associate with. Because there is a distinction between good and bad or ideal and unsatisfactory, people naturally think of developing the potential of a person’s good personality and then improve where there is lack in character. Therefore, this is what we call “moulding over the years". Regardless of the kind of personality our children have, with the moulding over the years, our children can become a more ethical and popular person. Therefore, the education system today not only focuses on teaching well academically, but also emphasizes on the shaping of one’s personality. Regardless whether you are a student, an employee, or a citizen, we all are to become caring, compassionate, ethical, progressive and patriotic people. Indeed, human nature embodies a person’s personality, and a positive personality can indeed bring out some advantages. For example, people with friendly personalities are more popular; people with diligent personality can always study well or do their jobs well. Therefore, people continue to emphasize on shaping one’s personality. In particular, in today’s society, people increasingly believe that one’s personality can bring about effectiveness, especially how some things can only be done well by people of certain personalities. For example, a manger must have leadership and decisiveness. Therefore, in choosing a country’s leaders, the country will seriously analyze the personalities of its candidates. However, when the environment gets more and more complex, we will discover that relying on positive personalities is not enough, we need people of different personalities to come together in order to bring out effective outcomes. No matter what, the practice of exploring and paying attention to human personality is becoming more and more popular in today’s era. Therefore, nowadays, whether a school, a company or a church will advocate psychology so that people can discover the strengths of their own personality, and they will put together those who can cooperate to complete projects or work in ministries. The educational system of this era also tries to be as inclusive as possible, and hence try not to regard a person's innate personality as negative. For example, the problem of a certain student is not rebelliousness, but that he has leadership. A certain person is not pessimistic but one who is more cautious. What does the Truth tell us in such situations? So when we talk about spiritual life, how is it related to one’s personality? Some people's personality seems to be more stubborn, hence, it is not easy for them to submit to God's word or to church leaders. Some people have a relatively bad temper or have a strong self-esteem. They have not changed much since listening to God's word, and often have interpersonal issues with others. Some people are more docile and reasonable. It seems that they are easier to get along and co-work with, among brethren. Or some people are more doubtful, it is therefore not easy for them to believe what the pastor says, while some are relatively simple, and they will believe what they hear. So, we have to ask if a person’s blessedness is related to his personality? Of course, according to the Truth, we all know that whether a person can be born again and his sanctification is purely the work of the Holy Spirit. But how do we explain the various causes of human personality? If our innate personality is not so advantageous in human perspective, how can we look at it from the perspective of the Truth?
