What does it mean to be a good person? I strive to be a godly person because being a good person won’t bring me closer to God. A good person focuses on outward moral behavior and kindness toward others. A godly person focuses on. Inward spiritual relationship with God and living to honor His will.
A good person is guided by human standards, cultural norms, and a personal sense of ethics, or a desire to help others and keep social harmony. It is often driven by civic duty, and personal conscience rather than a divine standard.
A godly person is guided by God’s Word, divine command, and personal surrender to spiritual principles rather than just cultural expectations.
