Godliness leads to what is best (1 Timothy 4:7-10). Godliness – thinking with the mind of Christ, having a heart for the Father and for people like Jesus, living daily to be like Jesus – is of immense value in every way both in this life and the life to come. But it doesn’t just happen. Godliness requires focus, effort, and discipline like an Olympic athlete. As we pursue God and His ways in such a way, He meets us and grows us in godliness that leads to abundant life and His best for us.
