What does the Bible say about what makes a good man?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible teaches that a good man is one who shows favor, lends generously, and guides his affairs with discretion, grounded in the righteousness of Christ.
The concept of a good man in the Bible is deeply rooted in the character and work of Jesus Christ. Psalm 112 highlights that a good man is blessed because he fears the Lord and delights in His commandments. This is exemplified perfectly in Christ, who kept God's law without fail. A good man shows favor and lends, reflecting Christ's graciousness in giving. Importantly, while doing good is commendable, it does not earn favor with God; only Christ's righteousness can justify us. Therefore, amidst the call to be good stewards and to do good works, our trust must remain solely in Christ as our declaration of goodness before God.
