Twelve Characteristics of a Godly Life:

Become a Disciple of Christ. 

Be Conformed to the Image of His Son.

What we do is a direct result of what we are. What we are is determined by our values. Our values determine our character, and our character determines our behavior.

Ask yourself these questions:   “Do the characteristics reflected in my life exemplify the worlds values or those of Christ?”  

“When people spend time with me, do they go away desiring fame, wealth, material possessions, glamour, sexual pleasure or popularity,  just to mention a few, or do they desire to be more like Christ?”

In other words, "What values do they desire as a result of observing my character"?

These twelve characteristics are based on the premise that God has a purpose for each believer as they become a disciple of Christ. God’s purpose is explained in the eighth chapter of Romans, verses 28 and 29,  "…to those who are called according to His purpose. For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the first of many brethren.”
