Explanation:
What makes someone a “good person?” Many people would relate the term to one’s kindness, humility, generosity, or work ethic. There is an argument for the importance of such qualities, but what does the Bible have to say? Of course there are so many important Bible verses about being a good person. Some of these verses destroy our personal beliefs about how good we really are while others seem to line up with conventional wisdom. Here are some of the most important Bible verses about being a good person.
ROMANS 3:10-12, 23
“As it is written: ‘There is no one righteous, not even one; there is no one who understands; there is no one who seeks God. All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one.’...for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God”
We hate to burst your bubble, but God’s Word does not hold the morality of mankind in high esteem. This is one of the reasons why faith in Christ is better than works according to the Bible.
GENESIS 15:6
“Abram believed the Lord, and he credited it to him as righteousness.”
One of the most celebrated people in the Bible is Abraham. While he had wealth and a large family, that’s not what God cares about. His faith has made him righteous in God’s eyes.
EPHESIANS 2:8-9
“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.”
Building off of Genesis 15:6, we see here Paul telling the church at Ephesus that their works or religious traditions were not enough to save them from eternal destruction. Life is found through faith.
MATTHEW 7:16 - IMPORTANT BIBLE VERSES ABOUT BEING A GOOD PERSON
“By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thorn bushes, or figs from thistles?”
How will people know you belong to the Lord? Through your actions. While this might seem to go against the previously mentioned important Bible verses about being a good person, Jesus is saying here that a life of holiness will naturally develop good works.
1 THESSALONIANS 5:11
“Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.”
The key to a healthy community is building one another up. The mark of a good person and a healthy Christian is one who seeks to encourage brothers and sisters in the faith. We know the early church was good at this because the Bible says so.
ISAIAH 1:17
“Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the fatherless; plead the case of the widow.”
Looking to the prophets of the Old Testament, we see the best summation of what a good person should do with his or her time. Part of the spiritual journey we commit to as Christians is to care for and defend the helpless.
1 CORINTHIANS 15:33
“Do not be misled: ‘Bad company corrupts good character.’”
Often times a good person is torn down by hanging with the wrong crowd. Even if you were raised to be a “good person,” the more you venture away from the values you have been taught, the easier it will be for you to shed them for something else.
PROVERBS 27:5-6 - IMPORTANT BIBLE VERSES ABOUT BEING A GOOD PERSON
“Better is open rebuke than hidden love. Wounds from a friend can be trusted, but an enemy multiplies kisses.”
It isn’t always easy to be a good person or to make the right choices. We know someone is a friend when they are willing to say necessary things. Someone who doesn’t care about you is happy to let you go sinning at your own peril.
ROMANS 12:2
“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.”
While the two might occasionally agree with one another, we shouldn’t confuse what this world determines to be good with how God qualifies such a status. We should always compare ideas and actions against what we know to be true in the Bible.
MARK 10:45
“For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
A good person, based on the example of Christ, is one who looks to serve others. We may never have the need to die for others, but we can certainly live to help them and point them to Jesus.
1 CORINTHIANS 13:1-3
“If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.”
Actions are great, but the Bible says they are empty without faith and love. Our faith keeps us connected to Christ while our love keeps us humble and always seeking to care for those around us.
