Biblical Answer

The difference between a good Christian and someone who's given up is that a good Christian prioritizes Christ above all else. They put the Lord Jesus over their passions, possessions, and the other things in their life. In contrast, someone who's given up may still be a good person, but they are not living a life that reflects Christian values and teachings. They may be more focused on their own desires and ambitions than on following Jesus.

A good Christian is not someone who never goes wrong, but rather someone who is enabled to repent and pick themselves up and begin over again after each stumble. This is because the Christ-life is not about being perfect, but about being enabled to live a life that reflects God's love and character. On the other hand, someone who's given up may be more focused on their own self-image and may be unwilling to admit their mistakes and seek forgiveness.

Ultimately, the difference between a good Christian and someone who's given up is not just about behavior, but about heart attitude. A good Christian is someone who is surrendered to Jesus and is living a life that reflects His love and character. Someone who's given up, on the other hand, may still be a good person, but they are not living a life that is surrendered to God. This is why it's so important to prioritize Christ and to seek to live a life that reflects His values and teachings.
