How is true godliness connected to salvation?

Answered in 1 source

True godliness is inseparable from the gospel truth concerning salvation by grace through faith in Jesus Christ (2 Timothy 3:5).

True godliness has a foundational relationship with salvation as it is rooted in the gospel truth that salvation is through Jesus Christ alone, by grace. Paul's teaching highlights that true worship results from understanding and accepting the finished work of Christ, who saves sinners. In 2 Timothy 3:5, he warns against a form of godliness that lacks the power of genuine faith. Hence, true godliness reflects a transformed life that results from salvation, affecting not only worship practices but the whole of one's conduct. Recognizing this divine connection emphasizes that true godliness is a response to being saved, rooted in an understanding that all conditions for salvation have been fully met by Christ.
