What does the Bible say about godliness?

Answered in 26 sources

The Bible defines godliness as worshiping, believing, and following God as He reveals Himself, specifically through the person and work of Jesus Christ.

Godliness, as presented in the Bible, is fundamentally about worship, belief, and obedience to God as He has revealed Himself to humanity. In 1 Timothy 3:16, the mystery of godliness rests upon the person and work of Jesus Christ, who is God manifest in the flesh. True godliness cannot be attained through human effort or morality; rather, it is a gift of grace that leads to a transformed life through faith in Christ. This faith is ultimately a divine revelation from God, as stated in Romans 1:16-17, asserting that the gospel reveals the righteousness of God.
