Godliness is Possible

Godliness is possible because Jesus came to the world. You now can have God come inside you, live inside you and act through your personality. You can partake of the divine nature and become a genuine son of the living God. When Jesus was born into this world, He was God in human flesh, that is why His name is Immanuel, God with us. Jesus was the only man who walked the face of the earth without committing a single sin, …for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me: Jn.14:30; …was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin: Heb.4:15.

By the time Jesus died on the cross and rose again, He became the Author of eternal salvation for all who believe in Him. When He was on the earth, He said, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him: Jn. 14:23. Accepting Jesus as your Lord and Saviour transforms your life completely and gives you the power of sonship, But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Jn.1:12. The sonship, in addition to the power of the Holy Ghost that comes upon you, empowers you to be whatever God wants you to be, But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth: Acts 1:8.

Therefore, godliness in a believer is made possible by the power of redemption in the blood of Jesus which changes your life and character to behave like God. If indeed you carry the life of God by redemption, your life must be the life of God, and your fruits will show it. If you are born of God, live like God.

Prayer/Action
* Give thanks to God for making godliness possible.
* Rebuke every act in your life that runs contrary to the life of God.
* Ask God to help you live like Him on the earth.
* Ask that sin will not have dominion over you.
