Every individual carries a unique responsibility to enrich society through his or her distinct talents and contributions. First give God HIS glory with a hope of being honored with good report from HIM.
The concept of a good report in biblical terms is a complex and rich theological idea, which encompasses aspects of a believer’s life dealing with character and reputation as described in (Philippians 4:8). Central to understanding the concept of a good report in Scripture are alongside other virtuous qualities and are an integral part of a believer’s life and character. (1 Timothy 3:7) teaches us, have a good report of them that are without; lets he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil. Emphasizing this point, particularly for those in church leadership. It underscores that a good report extends beyond the church community to include the perception of those outside the faith. Illustrating how positive news about the faith and love of believers serves as encouragement within the Christian community.
Surround yourself with those who have earned honor and a good report from God, like Noah, Abraham, Joseph, Moses, Esther, Daniel, and Jesus, all received a good report or favor from God. Divine approval for fulfillment of God’s purpose.
Excellent qualities, commendation, and approval from both God and others.
Faith in action, vividly demonstrated for all to see, not just about belief, but also about how that belief translates into actions and character. While human recognition is part of a good report, ultimately, it reflects Divine approval.
It is not just about external actions but also about internal thought processes. The Word of God focuses the mind on things of good report a holistic concept that encompasses both thought and deed. Have integrity in one’s actions that align with declared beliefs both in public and private.
Mental discipline requires disciplining one’s thoughts to focus on positive and virtuous views, which can lead to an improved mental and spiritual well-being. After the pain of discipline you enjoy the harvest of peace in your life.
Just like earthly fathers does to his children and we respect them for it later, though they punished us. Be more cheerful under submission to God’s training so we can begin to really live (Hebrews 12:7-9).

Hebrews 12:7-9
New International Version
7 “Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as his children. For what children are not disciplined by their father? 8 If you are not disciplined—and everyone undergoes discipline—then you are not legitimate, not true sons and daughters at all. 9 Moreover, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us and we respected them for it. How much more should we submit to the Father of spirits and live!”
Hebrews 12:7-9
King James Version
7 “If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?
8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.
9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?”
Hebrews 12:7-9
Living Bible
7 “Let God train you, for he is doing what any loving father does for his children. Whoever heard of a son who was never corrected? 8 If God doesn’t punish you when you need it, as other fathers punish their sons, then it means that you aren’t really God’s son at all—that you don’t really belong in his family. 9 Since we respect our fathers here on earth, though they punish us, should we not all the more cheerfully submit to God’s training so that we can begin really to live?”
