Who is a good Christian?

[Classik]

Who is a good Christian? Now do not tell me there is none "good". The bible talks about a "good steward"

Oh....... You meant besides us?

At times the enemy (should I say the enemy? ) makes us believe we are no good..and there is no good thing in us... We have been awful all along.

Actually who is a good Christian? No need for the feeling of guilt...over sin. We are HIS Children, right?

A good Christian is made new in Christ 2 Corinthians 5:17.We have a restored relationship with God.Getting to know God brings Him Glory Isaiah 43:7; 2 Corinthians 3:18;John 17:1-5.When we know God we will want to please Him John 15:14.Being a "good Christian" is not about doing certain things but it is about growing in love for Christ and allowing His Holy Spirit to transform our hearts.

Bullseye sister. And I would add that while we are growing in our love for Christ, we are growing in love for our fellow man. I believe this is the new yardstick for Christianity. Love for our fellow man. If we say we love God, but do not love our fellow man then we are liars.

In the end times the love of many will wax cold, and we are seeing this all over right now. So all you have to do to spot the good Christians nowadays is to look for the people walking in love.

I think a "good Christian" has (or is developing) a Christian worldview and is allowing Christ to change him.

The answer is in the parable of the faithful steward, Luke 12:41-48. It's being faithful to God in all things as we remain in Gods will and not our own.

So what??? Blah, blah, blah. Let the enemy accuse as much as he wants. It means nothing. With Christ we are declared righteous.

5 Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
2 through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
3 And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance;
4 and perseverance, character; and character, hope.
5 Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
Romans 5:1-5 NIJV
