Is this behavior worthy of a good Christian?
It’s a good question to ask when you’re in a grey area. Or at least when you tell yourself it’s a grey area.
Something might not be sinful. Not directly harmful. Not obviously hurtful.
But that doesn’t mean it’s worthy.
Instead of asking “Is this wrong?” try asking “Is this worthy of a good Christian?”
That shifts the question from negative to positive. From minimum requirements to maximum potential.
Being a good Christian isn’t just about what we don’t do. It’s about what we do.
It’s not just avoiding sin. It’s pursuing holiness.
Not just “I didn’t do anything wrong today.” But “Did I do something good today? Did I become more like Christ?”
The bar isn’t “Is this technically permissible?” The bar is “Is this worthy of who I’m called to be?”
Those are two very different questions.
And they lead to two very different lives.
Let us pray.
Lord, give us the courage to pursue holiness, not just avoid sin. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Keep fighting the good fight. Our Lady of Victory, pray for us.
