7 Traits from Job…
In a world where appearances often take priority over substance, we need true virtue more than ever.
The Bible provides a clear picture of what this looks like in Job.
Reflect on these 7 key traits of the virtuous man:
1. Fears God and Rejects Evil (Job 1:1)
A virtuous man’s life begins with reverence for God and a commitment to avoiding sin.
2. Leads with Integrity (Job 29:14)
His character is his covering. He doesn’t compromise his values.
3. Defends the Weak (Job 29:12-16)
A virtuous man uses his strength to protect those who cannot defend themselves.
4. Leads His Household Well (Job 1:5)
He spiritually shepherds his family, interceding for them regularly.
5. Does Not Trust in Wealth (Job 31:24-25)
His hope is in God, not material success.
6. Remains Faithful Under Trial (Job 1:20-22)
A virtuous man’s faith doesn’t waver during hardships.
7. Protects His Purity (Job 31:1)
He makes a covenant with his eyes, guarding himself from impurity.
These are the traits that define true masculinity—not superficial appearances, but a life of integrity, strength, and faithfulness.
