What does the Bible say about being a man of God?

A man of God is described in 1 Timothy 6:11 as one who flees from unrighteousness and pursues righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, and gentleness. This concept is not new to the New Testament; it bears its roots in the Old Testament, where figures like Moses and David were called 'men of God' for their divine tasks. Through Christ’s work in the New Covenant, every believer is now seen as a man or woman of God, set apart for a holy purpose, and intended to reflect God's virtues in their lives.
