How do we know we are living godly lives?

According to Paul in 2 Timothy, living godly means to be pious and submissive to God’s will. It is a positive expression of faith, contrasted with mere moral behavior which is often defined by societal standards. The assurance of our godly living is demonstrated through the fruits of the Spirit such as charity, patience, and perseverance through trials. All believers will face persecution for their faith, indicating the authenticity of their walk with Christ, as they are seen both as children of God and witnesses to His truth.
