Scripture Text: 2 Peter 1: 1-11
1. To be godly is to love God with all our soul (thinking right of God), with all all our heart (feeling right of God) and with all our strength (acting right before God). We must be able to say from our heart that our Heavenly Father is the true and living God and Jesus Christ is our only Lord and Saviour.
2. The marks of godliness are:
a) Conformity to God's ways
b) Obedience to God's Word A true godly person is always a Bible believer.
3. The marks of godliness are evidenced in 3 ways:
a) Worship - This is most basic in which we are to know God, love God, fear God and trust God
b) Walk - we are to seek to walk in fellowship with God and please Him always
c) Works - we are saved for good works. Godliness always comes with good works which include our conversation not of this world.
4. In 1 Tim 4:7, we are exhorted to exercise ourselves unto godliness. May the Lord give us the zeal, passion and discipline to strive to be holy as God is holy.
