Question:
What is a good Christian?

Answer:

One who is better at doing (producing) Christ-like things, the “fruit of the Spirit” (Galatians 5:22, 23).

We should exhibit the fruit of the Spirit, which is the result of the Spirit within us.

Some people may have more opportunity to show the fruit of the Spirit to others, and others are good Christians privately. But we all should live our lives before the Lord.

“When Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect” (Genesis 17:1).

To “walk before” the Lord means that every step we take we should realize that He is behind us all the way, protecting, caring for us and also rejoicing over us (Zephaniah 3:17). A sense of our loving Lord following us will cause us to want to please Him and thus “be . . . perfect.”
