Essentials To Godliness

Godly or Ungodly Religion?

Godly or Ungodly View of Sin?

1 Tim 4:7-8 (NKJV)7 But reject profane and old wives'

fables, and exercise yourself toward godliness. 8 For bodily

exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life that now is and

of that which is to come.

W.E. Vine: “That piety which, characterized by a Godward attitude, does that which is well pleasing to Him.”

Ungodly = Not-godly - God is not the primary object when making decisions.

Our Body To Be God’s Temple


6

1 Corinthians 6:18-20 (NKJV)

. . . your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? 20 For you were

bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your

spirit, which are God's.

Romans 6:12-13 (NKJV)12 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should

obey it in its lusts. 13 And do not present your members as

instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your

members as instruments of righteousness to God.

right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish,

than for your whole body to be cast into hell.

Romans 12:1-2 (NKJV)

1 I beseech you therefore,

brethren, by the mercies of

God, that you present your

bodies a living sacrifice, holy,

acceptable to God, which is

your reasonable service.

this world, but be

transformed by the

renewing of your mind, that

you may prove what is that

good and acceptable and

perfect will of God.
