For Jesus, the good person is the person who is appropriately concerned about and committed to the well-being of others (Mark 12:31; John 13:34–35). The bad person is one who is intentionally destructive or indifferent to the well-being of others (Matt. 15:18–20; John 3:30; 7:7) The right act is the kind of act that is characteristic of the person who is committed to the well-being of others (Luke 10:25–37). Admittedly, the moral statements listed in the points above deserve and require more elaboration, but the objective here is to demonstrate how these moral truths capture the essence of Jesus's teaching. Yet they cannot be based on themselves. It is very nice to have a moral theory, but how does it actually work in creating a good life?
