It encompasses both outward actions and inward attitudes, reflecting one's character and relationship with God. The Bible places significant emphasis on behaviour as an expression of faith and obedience to God's commandments. Biblical Foundations The Bible provides numerous instructions and examples regarding behaviour, underscoring its importance in the life of a believer. In the Old Testament, the Law given to Moses includes detailed guidelines for righteous living, emphasizing the need for holiness and obedience (<a href="/leviticus/19-2.htm">Leviticus 19:2</a>). The wisdom literature, such as Proverbs, offers practical advice on how to conduct oneself wisely and righteously (<a href="/proverbs/3.htm">Proverbs 3:1-6</a>). In the New Testament, Jesus Christ serves as the ultimate model for behaviour. His teachings in the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7) outline the attitudes and actions that characterize the Kingdom of God. The Apostle Paul further elaborates on Christian behaviour, urging believers to "walk in a manner worthy of the calling you have received" (<a href="/ephesians/4.htm">Ephesians 4:1</a>). Key Aspects of Christian Behaviour 1. Love and Compassion: Central to Christian behaviour is the command to love God and others. Jesus taught that love is the greatest commandment (<a href="/matthew/22-37.htm">Matthew 22:37-39</a>). Paul echoes this in <a href="/bsb/1_corinthians/13.htm">1 Corinthians 13</a>, describing love as patient, kind, and not self-seeking. 2. Holiness and Purity: Believers are called to live holy lives, set apart for God. This involves abstaining from sinful behaviours and pursuing purity in thought and deed (<a href="/1_peter/1-15.htm">1 Peter 1:15-16</a>). 3. Humility and Service: Jesus exemplified humility and servanthood, washing His disciples' feet and instructing them to do likewise (<a href="/john/13-14.htm">John 13:14-15</a>). Christians are encouraged to consider others above themselves and serve one another in love (<a href="/philippians/2-3.htm">Philippians 2:3-4</a>). 4. Integrity and Honesty: The Bible stresses the importance of truthfulness and integrity. Believers are to speak the truth in love and avoid deceitful practices (<a href="/ephesians/4-25.htm">Ephesians 4:25</a>). 5. Self-Control and Discipline: Self-control is a fruit of the Spirit and essential for godly behaviour. Paul advises believers to exercise discipline in all areas of life, likening it to an athlete training for a race (<a href="/1_corinthians/9-25.htm">1 Corinthians 9:25-27</a>). Consequences of Behaviour The Bible warns of the consequences of ungodly behaviour, both in this life and the next. Sinful actions lead to spiritual death and separation from God (<a href="/romans/6-23.htm">Romans 6:23</a>). Conversely, righteous behaviour results in blessings and eternal life. Jesus taught that a tree is known by its fruit, indicating that one's actions reveal their true nature (<a href="/matthew/7-16.htm">Matthew 7:16-20</a>). Transformation Through Christ Christian behaviour is not merely a matter of following rules but is rooted in a transformed heart. Through faith in Christ, believers receive the Holy Spirit, who empowers them to live according to God's will (<a href="/galatians/5-16.htm">Galatians 5:16-25</a>). This transformation is a lifelong process of sanctification, as believers grow in grace and knowledge of the Lord (<a href="/2_peter/3-18.htm">2 Peter 3:18</a>). Conclusion While this entry does not include a conclusion, it is evident that behaviour is a critical aspect of the Christian life, reflecting one's faith and commitment to God. The Bible provides comprehensive guidance on how believers are to conduct themselves, emphasizing love, holiness, humility, integrity, and self-control as key components of godly behaviour.<a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/2688.htm">2688. katastema -- demeanor</a> ... behavior.
