How do we know that godliness is true?

Answered in 1 source

Godliness is evidenced through a changed life that reflects Christ's character, powered by the Holy Spirit's work within us.

We recognize the truth of godliness through the transformative work of the Holy Spirit in the believer's life. As explained in the sermon, true godliness results in a profound change akin to moving from darkness to light. This change manifests in a desire for holiness, obedience to God's word, and an inclination towards seeking Christ, signifying that the Spirit is at work. Furthermore, a believer's godliness is demonstrated through actions, a genuine pursuit of Christ, and the fruits of the Spirit becoming evident in daily life. Essentially, the authenticity of one's godliness is tested by their growing desire for a deeper relationship with Jesus and a sincere commitment to live according to His teachings.
