“When people hear the word Godliness, many think of it as a list of things we don’t do. But before understanding what God doesn’t want us to do, we should recognize that Godliness is actually about how we please God. It’s a term that means “worshipping well.” It refers to our reverence for8 God, our loyalty to God – that we do our duty in our relationship with Him.
If you’re a Christian, Godliness is not optional. It’s needful. It’s required. God has called us and says, “I’m calling you into fellowship with My Son, Jesus Christ – a growing relationship of love and devotion.” How can we say we’re answering that call if we think, “It doesn’t matter if I please God. It doesn’t matter if I live out Godliness. I don’t care about worshipping well?””
