Discovering the reason why you are here on this earth, why you are here in this time and why you are here according to your design does not have to be difficult. God has placed intrinsic value in you, and He has set your destiny in the distance. Then He allows obstacles to riddle your path, which creates tension. He does all of this to transform you into the image of Jesus (Ephesians 5.1-2<\/a><\/strong>).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A character arc is the inner change of a character within the story. The Bible is filled with character arcs because God is in the business of changing lives. This earth is like a womb, and we have about 70 years (give or take a few) to become the people we will be for eternity. Though, a character will not grow willingly. Why? Because growth hurts.<\/p>\n Let me give you an example from a bodybuilder’s perspective. A bodybuilder knows that the only way to get stronger is through muscle tension, muscle damage and muscle growth. If he wants to win the competition, he will have to suffer (Romans 5.3-5<\/a><\/strong>). Yet, if he goes to the gym and does not lift weights, his growth will remain stagnant and then decline.<\/p>\n So how does God get us to willingly go through struggles in order to transform us? He gives us promises. He places these promises at the foot of His throne, and we overcome all obstacles to achieve them. We, in essence, become more like Christ. Between the time of receiving our promises and achieving our promises, the character arc transpires. These promises become our destiny.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n These are all positive character arcs. Each person is stronger by the end of the story, but they had to overcome evil forces and the evil within them.<\/p>\n Be sure to also read:<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Character arc is at the heart of fiction.
