There are several factors that go into making a good person. Mind you, these are all my opinion, as with most philosophy questions, there is no "right" or "wrong" answer. Of cardinal importance is altruism. A good person must be willing to sacrifice, to give up to those who need more or have less. In my experiences, "good" actions all come down to altruism of one form or another. Giving of onesself in time, money, or physical labor. Also, one must be willing to put themself in danger good of someone else, that is another sign of a good person. I also believe these things must be done for no ulterior motive. If you give to a worthy cause because of some divine reward, that's truly selfish, whereas if you give to that same cause because it's the right thing to do, that's a different matter altogether.

I believe a good person is one who possesses a pure heart.I believe having a pure heart to me means that you care about others and can empathize with them. I feel if you can put yourself in someone Else's shoes, you will always treat people the way you want to be treated.

If you can honestly say each night that you tried your best that day, and didn't purposely do anyone any harm, then I'd think you qualify as a good person.

I think a person spirit and what they have within them is what makes them a good person. I really think this would make a good person: one who accept Jesus and live their life the right way...one who serve a good purpose in life...and one that save others' like what I am trying to do right now. God bless you!

The Bible says, "That if thou shall confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in thy heart that God raised him from the dead, thou shall be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation" (Romans 10:9,10) To receive Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior of your life, sincerely pray this prayer from your heart
“Dear Jesus, I believe that you died for me and that you rose again on the third day. I confess to you that I am a sinner and that I need your love and forgiveness. Come into my life, forgive my sins, and give me eternal life. I confess you now as my Lord. Thank you for my salvation. In Jesus Name Amen!”

Integrity. If you know what is important to you and you know how to behave in relationship to those values, you will never have to worry about your actions being "bad." At least they won't be bad for you, and that's what's important!
