Some people in the Bible are given adjectives attested by God. They seem to have excelled in their life by devoting for the God’s glory.
Friend of God: Abraham is known for obeying God’s call. He left or forgot his country, people (culture and language) and family (caste, tribe, clan, race, class), and took God as His identity, priority and all in all. (Genesis 12:1-3) Hence, God made him a blessing to all families on the earth. He is known as a friend of God. (Isaiah 41:8) Lord Jesus also called His disciples friends and not as servants. (John 15:15) Friends are privy to secrets. God revealed to Abraham his decision to judge Sodom and Gomorrah and did not hide it from him. (Genesis 18: 17)
Faithful: Moses was called a faithful steward in all his ministry to the Lord. (Hebrews 3:2) Faithfulness in all aspects of life is expected from all disciples. It means to be loyal, steadfast, and consistent.
Man after God’s own heart: David was called a person after God’s own heart. (I Samuel 13:14) David loved the Lord; he gave priority to His Glory, His desire, His preference, His will, and His plan. He exalted God above himself, his kingship and his throne.
Righteous Job: God certified that Job was righteous, and he challenged Satan to test him. (Job 1:8) Job knew that the sudden misfortune and suffering that came upon him were not a consequence of his sin. Yet, he refused to sin using his lips, by cursing or grumbling against God. (Job 1:22) Job was confident that he would come out as pure gold after tests. (Job 23:10)
Beloved Daniel: As a teenager, Daniel refused the dine and wine offer of Nebuchadnezzar. A gifted by God, he stated and interpreted his dream. Under Darius, he refused to stop praying to God. God protected him from lions by sending his angels. Daniel was one of the great prophets, who is valued as a beloved of God. (Daniel 9:23; 10:19)
