“...great is the mystery of godliness...” –
1 Timothy 3:16.
As strange as it may sound, there are only
about 15 places where the term “godliness” is used in the Bible. Nevertheless,
godliness in my opinion means having a God-like character.
We are to profess godliness with good works
– 1 Timothy 2:10. Helping others with a good attitude draws attention to our
religion and ultimately to our Father in Heaven. Our eyes become open to the
world and we become much more fruitful.
Take time to help an old woman or man cross
the road, to help a neighbour run an errand, to volunteer at that place that
desperately needs you. Aside the peace and joy that comes with helping, showing
Godliness would glorify Our Father. Try to do some good deeds today.
“And beside this, giving all diligence, add
to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; And to knowledge temperance; and
to temperance patience; and to patience GODLINESS; And to GODLINESS brotherly
kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.” – 2 Peter 1:5-7.
