Attributes of a Godly Man and Woman

Most Christians are wanting to become "Better" Christians and closer to our Father. The Bible is full of guidance and direction on how to become better in our daily lives. Specifically 1 Timothy 3:1-7 & Titus 1:6-9 gives guidance and direction on how we can work on ourselves and become more Godly people and representatives of Christ.

1 Timothy 3:1-7

1Here is a trustworthy saying: If anyone sets his heart on being an overseer,[a] he desires a noble task. 2Now the overseer must be above reproach, the husband of but one wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, 3not given to drunkenness, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money. 4He must manage his own family well and see that his children obey him with proper respect. 5(If anyone does not know how to manage his own family, how can he take care of God's church?) 6He must not be a recent convert, or he may become conceited and fall under the same judgment as the devil. 7He must also have a good reputation with outsiders, so that he will not fall into disgrace and into the devil's trap.

Titus 1:6-9

6An elder must be blameless, the husband of but one wife, a man whose children believe and are not open to the charge of being wild and disobedient. 7Since an overseer[a] is entrusted with God's work, he must be blameless--not overbearing, not quick-tempered, not given to drunkenness, not violent, not pursuing dishonest gain. 8Rather he must be hospitable, one who loves what is good, who is self-controlled, upright, holy and disciplined. 9He must hold firmly to the trustworthy message as it has been taught, so that he can encourage others by sound doctrine and refute those who oppose it.

When I first became a Christian back in 1995 I read my bible, attended church and tried to live the "Life of Christ". Then in 1996 I participated in a Bible Study where we studied "Attributes of a Godly Leader" which were taken from the verses above. On a piece of paper I wrote down the list and over the next year when I woke up I read the list and tried to apply it to my daily life.

The verses above give us "Attributes of a Godly Man/Woman". Broken down they are as follows:
