There are many attributes of a godly individual but here are five
characteristics of what the Bible would call a “godly person.”

This might be the most important of all characteristics of a godly person.

A wife or a husband prioritize the other’s needs, over the Lord –
“the LORD your God is a
consuming fire, a jealous God” (Duet. 4:24). This is about
the anger of God set against those who make idols of anything other than God.
·
By putting God first, the godly husband will seek to love His wife as it
says “Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave
himself for her” (Eph 5:25). If the man put his wife above
God, that would be idolatry and God would never bless anyone that has
someone else or something else taking the place of God. Read –
Matthew 10:34-39.

The throne of God is a one-seater and we must resign as the chairman of the
board to our own lives.
A Parable of foolishness!
Luke 12:13-21
