Words from Scripture: Good People

The fool hath said in his heart, there is no God. Anyone who talks like that is warped and evil and cannot really be a good person at all. Psalm 14:1 The Living Bible

You are capable of doing good and loving others.

So, what is it that a Christian is supposed to do? There are multiple Bible verses which explain what we need to do:

Good people delight in God’s holiness. Psalm 37:23

This is especially true when we see the Christ child in the manger at the wonderful time of Christmas. He came down as a babe in a manger to save us. Thank you, Lord.

Good people bask in the delight of GOD and want nothing to do with devious schemers. You can’t find firm footing in a swamp, but life rooted in God stands firm. Proverbs 12:2-3 The Message (The Bible in contemporary language.)

Good people secure their children. Proverbs 13:22

They take care of their families and guide them to love others and Christ Jesus.

Good people are satisfied with life. Proverbs 14:14 and the backslider gets bored with himself; but the godly man’s life is exciting. Proverbs 14:14 The Living Bible

People who follow our Lord and his commandments enjoy happiness.

Good people love wisdom. Matthew 12:35

Learn as much as you can. God wants you to grow in wisdom and be there for others.

Good people are just people. Luke 23:50

They are just like you, follow the law and are fair to others.

 Good people are full of faith. Acts 11:24

Good men who are full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, will admire and rejoice in the grace of God bestowed on them. He has angels watching you and acting to care for you.

Prayer: Dear Father in Heaven, thank you for these instructions and your grace and care for us. Amen.
