The Enneagram, a popular personality typing system, has gained traction in recent years, even within Christian circles. However, its origins in the occult and its core teachings raise significant concerns for those seeking genuine spiritual growth.
What is the Enneagram?
At its core, the Enneagram is a personality test that categorizes individuals into nine distinct types. While it may seem harmless, the Enneagram's claim that these personality types are fixed and unchangeable contradicts the transformative power of the Gospel. As Christians, our identity is not defined by a personality test but by our relationship with Christ.
The Enneagram's Occult Roots
The Enneagram's history is deeply rooted in occult practices and New Age spirituality. Its core concepts are derived from mystical traditions that are incompatible with Christian beliefs. Engaging with the Enneagram means opening oneself to spiritual influences that can lead us away from God.
The Gospel: The True Path to Transformation
The Bible teaches that through faith in Jesus Christ, we become new creations. Our old selves are crucified with Christ, and we are given new life in Him. This transformation is not about discovering our "true selves" but about surrendering to God's will and allowing Him to shape us into His image.
The Danger of the Enneagram
The Enneagram's emphasis on self-discovery and self-improvement can distract us from the true source of transformation: the Holy Spirit. By focusing on our personality types, we risk neglecting the work that God wants to do in our lives.
A Call to Discernment
As Christians, we are called to be discerning about the spiritual influences we allow into our lives. The Enneagram, with its occult origins and misleading teachings, is a path that can lead us astray. Instead, let us turn to the Bible, the ultimate source of truth and guidance, and seek the transformative power of the Holy Spirit.
A Way Back
If you have been involved with the Enneagram or other occult practices, there is hope. Through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ, you can find forgiveness and freedom from spiritual bondage. Turn away from these practices and embrace the abundant life that Christ offers.
