He is a man that has a love for God, Matthew 22:37

A man that not only knows about God but one that actually loves and wants to serve Him. He is a man after God's own heart. He will read God's word and pray for God's before he acts or makes decisions. He will obey God's word. Obey the Gospel and be faithful. One cannot be "godly" and not obey the Gospel He will defend the word of God, Jude 3 He will love his enemies,Matthew 5:44-46 He will love his wife as his own body, Ephesians 5:28 He will love his children. He will love his parents and neighbor.


He would be a man who prays to God


He will acknowledge the will of God and ask Him for guidance, help and knowledge. He will a person you would want to pray for you in time of illness or distress because you know his love and relationship with God is strong.


He will repent and confess his sins, 2 Corinthians 7:10


He will not be perfect but he will be striving to be perfect. He will acknowledge his mistakes to those he has done wrong to. He will swallow his pride and humble himself before God and his fellowman. James 4:6-8


He will be discipline


He will keep his word

He will keep his word with God. He will keep his word with his wife, Job 31:1. He will keep his promise to his children.


He will discipline his children, Ephesians 6:4, Hebrews 12:9-11

This means to teach and instruct them. Which requires him to be involved in their lives. We need more hands on type dads.


The home needs Godly bad men especially in todays society. We need Godly men to provide the love and security to those inside the home. Society needs godly men in generally

This is a great verse concerning that:

Proverbs 22:6, "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it."

Wise words from a lovely young sister in Christ. It appears that the next generation is not as clueless as some would like us to believe. :)
 
Sorry...the word was used in a different post...but either way...my bad...sorry for posting in wrong post...but still curious.
 
I would like to add some things to your list here. A man (or woman) of God considers others greater than himself, realizes that God is in control and that the challenges we face in this life are blessings which teach us to trust and become like our Father (loving to all, especially those who don't deserve it), does not seek to preserve his life in the face of persecution, is not swayed by any circumstance which is seen by the eyes because we know that the true nature of our reality is unseen.
 
AND - ,conforms his heart and mind to Christ producing the fruits of the Spirit ( love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control) and crucifies his sinful nature - putting and end to the fruits of the flesh (immorality, impurity, sensuality,20 idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger,disputes, dissensions, factions,21 envying, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of which I forewarn you, just as I have forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.)

your brother in Christ - Justin
