GODLINESS



“...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.
