Hi peoples,

A very Happy New Year to y'all!!
Since past few days, a question has been bothering me. I have heard many people say this phrase he/she is a "Good Christian".
1) What does it mean to be a "Good Christian"?
2) What does it mean to lead a "Good Christian" life?
Anyone care to share their thoughts? It sure will be helpful.

Blessings!!

Being a good Christian means seeking what Jesus wants you to do, and doing it.

Many people mean something different, and in my opinion they are wrong. Like they say "it means going to church", "acting kind to people", "giving to the poor". The reason I think they are wrong is because they are saying what they think Jesus wants them to do, and that may not be what Jesus wants you to do.

Being Good and Christ Like are observed in the fruit of the Holy Spirit Goodness is a fruit of the Holy Spirit goodness is giving of the life of God as He gives us Himself , these fruits of The Holy Spirit supersede laws. Spiritual fruit is produced when you desire and allow Him to flow through you to do this one must deny one’s self then give Agape(divine) Love, Spiritual Joy Jesus is yours and you are His inseparable, Peace that all enemies are defeated, Patient that they may not receive instantaneously, Kindness remembering when you were like or in need as they, Meekness that to retaliate will not entreat them but only cause them to resist you and thus Jesus, Temperance deny your own self will if it be anger slow to speak listening to the Holy Spirit who knows how to answer to everyone perfectly, and Faith in the substance of eternal; life. light and Agape(divine) Love. Adding Mercy and compassion in your heart’s desire for all and yourself. GBYIAF

Being a "Good Christian" from the worlds point of view, and some Christian folks. Is a deceitful trick they use to judge us. A Christian is forgiven, not perfect.
I keep my focus on Christ. Study and follow the word as best as I can. All the while thanking GOD for his grace.

living a good christian life means living a life that is worthy of Christ. Love Him and love people. Bible tells us how we are supposed to live, follow that.

I believe leading a good Christian life is more to do with living as a God's child. Living as a part of God's family. They termed as Christian because we follow Jesus. The essence of Christian life is that we represent kingdom of heaven on Earth. Hence should display a life of heavenly standard on Earth like Christ did. Our difference is we display the fruits of God's spirit Gal 5:29 as mentioned above. I agree with all above as the spirit directs us all to become a Gud Spirit and hence am always thankful for His grace.
