What Is a Godly Man?
A godly man is not perfect — but he is being formed by God’s Word, transformed by the Holy Spirit, and led by His unfailing love. These scriptures describe the character of a man who fears the Lord and walks with Him.
1. He Delights in God’s Word
Psalm 1:1–2
“Blessed is the man… whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and on His law he meditates day and night.”
A godly man hungers for truth and lets God shape his thinking and living.
2. He Walks in Justice, Mercy, and Humility
Micah 6:8
“Do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with your God.”
He doesn’t chase power or popularity — he lives to reflect God’s heart.
3. He Bears Spiritual Fruit
Galatians 5:22–23
“The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.”
His life produces evidence of God working in him.
4. He Fears the Lord and Lives Righteously
Psalm 112:1, 4
“Blessed is the man who fears the Lord… He is gracious, merciful, and righteous.”
He honors God, loves others, and walks in integrity.
5. He Is Steady, Faithful, and Teachable
Titus 1:6–9 “namely, if any man is blameless, the husband of one wife, having children who believe, not accused of indecent behavior or rebellion. For the overseer must be blameless as God’s steward, not self-willed, not quick-tempered, not overindulging in wine, not a bully, not greedy for money, but hospitable, loving what is good, self-controlled, righteous, holy, disciplined, holding firmly the faithful word which is in accordance with the teaching, so that he will be able both to exhort in sound doctrine and to refute those who contradict it.”
A godly man is faithful, self-controlled, gentle, blameless, holy, and committed to sound teaching.
6. He Lives with Purpose and Purity
1 Timothy 6:11
“But as for you, O man of God, flee these things. Pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness, gentleness.”
He chooses the path of holiness, not the path of ease.
Godliness is something pursued — it’s active, not passive.
7. He Cares for the Weak and Resists Worldliness
James 1:27
“Pure religion is to visit orphans and widows… and to keep oneself unstained from the world.”
He shows compassion and lives with purity in a polluted world.
8. He Follows the Way of the Risen Lord
John 13:15
“For I have given you an example, that you also should do just as I have done to you.”
1 John 2:6
“Whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked.”
A godly man follows Jesus, who served with humility, loved without condition, and obeyed the Father even unto death.
He seeks to be Christlike in speech, action, and motive.
9. He Treasures God’s Word
Psalm 119:11
“I have stored up your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.”
Psalm 119:105
“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.”
A godly man hides God’s Word in his heart — it guides his choices, guards his purity, and grounds his soul.
10. He Lives as a Witness of the Kingdom
John 15:8
“By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples.”
He understands that his life is not his own — it belongs to Christ.
A godly man lives to bear fruit for God’s glory, to lead others to Christ, and to build the Kingdom, not his own platform.
11. He Lives Above Reproach and Serves Faithfully
1 Timothy 3:8–13
“Deacons likewise must be dignified, not double-tongued, not addicted to much wine, not greedy for dishonest gain. They must hold the mystery of the faith with a clear conscience… Let them also be tested first; then let them serve as deacons if they prove themselves blameless… Let deacons each be the husband of one wife, managing their children and their own households well.”
A godly man is dignified, truthful, and self-controlled.
He is faithful in small things, respected by others, and proves himself in service.
His home life is in order — he leads with gentleness and responsibility.
12. He Lets the Peace of Christ Rule His Life
Colossians 3:15–17
“Let the peace of Christ, to which you were indeed called in one body, rule in your hearts… Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you… do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus.”
A godly man walks in peace, not pride — ruled by Christ, clothed in love, and filled with the Word.
His life is not marked by control or chaos, but by thankfulness, truth, and Christlike action.
A godly man doesn’t just believe in Jesus — he becomes like Him.
He is a disciple, growing in grace, rooted in truth, and devoted to reflecting the light of Christ in a dark world.
While works is not a requirement for salvation, the are a natural result of a living, active faith.
It affects what we do with our time, talent, and treasure.
It affects our priorities,
It affects the way we speak,
It affects the way we think.
We cannot encounter the resurrected Savior and walk away unchanged.
May the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, His word dwell in you richly, and because you are chosen of God, in Christ you are holy and beloved, therefore: put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience; bearing with one another, and forgiving each other and most of all put on love.
Proverbs 1:9
do not ignore your mother’s teaching; for it is a graceful wreath for your head
And necklaces for your neck.
