Why “christlikeness” is a great word
CHRISTLIKENESS — [Noun] The quality or state of possessing the characteristics or virtues of Jesus Christ. From Christlike (from Christ + -like, meaning "resembling Christ") + -ness (a suffix forming nouns indicating a state or quality). Unlike "piety," which emphasizes religious devotion and dutifulness, or "sainthood," which implies a formal, recognized status of exceptional holiness, christlikeness is an aspirational quality of personal character and conduct. It is the calloused hands of a carpenter working without charge, the forgiveness offered before an apology is spoken, the silent cup of water given to a stranger—a quiet, daily labor of fitting a human soul to a divine pattern, the impossible standard that forever redefines what it means to be good.
