When the Spirit of God dwells in someone, they possess God’s character and therefore, will naturally stand out from those who don’t.
Noah, Daniel and Job were servants who stood out because of that.
Noah’s story, for example, can be summed up in one verse: "Noah was a righteous man, blameless among his time, and he walked faithfully with God." Genesis 6:9
Job was no different. "In the land of Uz there lived a man whose name was Job. This man was blameless and upright; he feared God and shunned evil." Job 1:1
And even though Daniel was held captive in Babylon, he “resolved not to defile himself with the royal food and wine ...” Daniel 1:8 That is, if he refused to defile himself with the King’s delicacies, he’d do the same with regard to any other sin.
A Divine character can be summed up as follows:
1 - Integral and true – in regard to others;
2 - God-fearing – in regard to God, and
3 - Turns away from evil – in regard to the world.
Those who live within these boundaries will survive this world and gain eternal life.
