So I want to start this thread by highlighting the Christian virtues.
Now the first above all is love
>37Jesus declared, โโLove the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.โe 38This is the first and greatest commandment. 39And the second is like it: โLove your neighbor as yourself.โf 40All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.โ
What we learn here is that everything else in the commandments and law is an expression of love and a guideline on how to express love in a healthy and prosperous way, an effort to not harm those we love.
the next big one would be truth and honesty for
>6Jesus answered, โI am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
If Christ is the truth, and the Christ is God, then subsequently God is the truth, meaning that truthfulness is equal to worshipping God.
Subsequently rightousness comes forth from the truthfulness
>15Surely judgment will again be righteous, and all the upright in heart will follow it.
>16Who will rise up for me against the wicked? Who will stand for me against the workers of iniquity?
And to uphold the rightousness we must be strong and coragous
>24Be strong and courageous, all you who hope in the LORD.
But never the less be gentle and work solely for the good of all and not for your own satisfaction or glorification
>5Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth
Which means to care for your people
>7Give these instructions to the believers, so that they will be above reproach. 8If anyone does not provide for his own, and especially his own household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
And those in need
>40And the King will reply, โTruly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of Mine, you did for Me.โ
