Life and Godliness

Lady of Light

In the Second Epistle of Peter, Chapter 1:1-7, Peter gives us an idea of how God supplies the strength of believers so that they can become all things that pertain to Godliness and life:

"Grace and peace be multiplied unto yu through the knowledge of God and Jesus Christ our Lord, according as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue;

Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

And besides 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."

This describes all of the ways you can live a Godly life, if you have knowledge of God and Jesus Christ because He gives you the power to do these things.

Take a look at your life and see if there are some areas where you need to pray and perhaps improve yourself. God will help you. I know He has helped me and I still feel that it is an ongoing process requiring prayer and diligence.

God bless you and have a great day!
