add to your faith… Godliness 2 Peter 1:5-7

Godliness Eusebeia is a compound word: eu – “well,” sebomai – “to be devout” “reverence, respect; piety towards God” (Thayer). “that piety which, characterized by a Godward attitude, does that which is well-pleasing to Him” (Vine).

Godliness Godliness is not “God-likeness.” Should be understood as “God-towardness.” Godliness is a reverence towards God that has grown out of a feeling of dependence upon God and a deep regard for His majesty and glory, which expresses itself in our worship, our attitudes, and our manner of life.

Because We Reverence GOD! Godliness Godliness brings the reality of God into every other characteristic mentioned by Peter: We are virtuous (courageous), We strive to obtain knowledge, We deny self and practice self-control, We persevere despite the hardships... Because We Reverence GOD!

Why We Need Godliness Nadab and Abihu were destroyed because they were irreverent before God. Lev. 10:1-3; Ps. 89:7; Heb. 12:28-29 Eli and his sons were cut off from God because of their lack of reverence. 1 Sam. 2:12-17, 22, 27-29; 3:13

Godliness Develops the Proper Attitudes Towards the Things of God The Church Matt. 16:18; Acts 20:28; Eph. 5:25-27 The Truth Ps. 119:89; Rev. 22:18-19 Our Fellow Man Gen. 9:6; 1 Pet. 2:17 Marriage and Sexuality Matt. 19:4-6; Heb.13:4; Rom. 9:20

How To Develop Godliness Bible Study 1 Tim. 6:3; Titus 1:1 Worship Ps. 18:3; Rev. 4:11; 5:12 Prayer Matt. 6:9-13; Phil. 4:6; 1 Pet. 5:7 “exercise yourself toward godliness” 1 Timothy 4:7
