What does it mean to be godly?

Answered in 1 source

'Being godly' refers to living a life that is well-devout and characterized by a sincere devotion to God, as revealed in Scripture.

'Being godly' means embodying a life that exemplifies devotion to God, aligning one's life with the truth of the gospel. In 2 Timothy 3:12, the Apostle Paul states that all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will face persecution, highlighting that true godliness comes with challenges but remains grounded in the grace of God. Furthermore, godliness is not based on human effort but is a response to the truth of God revealed in Christ. It is essential to recognize that every believer possesses a measure of godliness, as described in 1 Timothy 4:8, where godliness is shown to be profitable in all things, promising benefits both in this life and the life to come.
