Our culture has lots to say about defining manhood.
But today, we’re going to turn to scriptures to see what God has to say. So here are 3 characteristics of a godly man:
- Wisdom: Proverbs 24:5 says that “a wise man is full of strength, and a man of knowledge enhances his might.” So be sure to pursue wisdom by reading the Bible and surrounding yourself with wise counsel.
- Humility: Philippians 2:3 tells us to “do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves.” In other words, a godly man must be humble in all circumstances–setting aside his own desires.
- Peace: And finally, James 1:19 shares “My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry.” Being a godly man requires that we are slow to anger. Instead, we should do everything we can to keep peace in our relationships.
