What does the Bible say about living a godly life?
Answered in 3 sources
The Bible teaches that believers will live godly lives and love one another as a reflection of their new nature in Christ.
The Bible emphasizes that true faith inherently connects with obedience and love. In 1 John 2:29, it states that those begotten of Christ will display righteousness, reflecting their transformed nature. To be born of God means to possess His nature and grace, compelling believers to strive for godliness and the likeness of Christ (1 John 3:1). This transformation should lead to a rejection of sin, as believers are called to live in light and truth.
