Living a Godly Life

Most times people have confused Godliness and Holiness together... Godliness is Holiness. When one lives a life of Jesus, a life separated from the world, such person can be said to be living a Godly life.
In as much as we know that this world and everyting in it are temporary, and the only thing that is permanent is Eternity. But eternity... is it in darkeness or in light... A Godly life is indeed a life which totally represents the body of Christ, a life which is the salt of the world, a Life which is the light of this world. The scripture says " And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect." Rom 12 : 2
Apostle Paul made a very wonderful statement, when he said in Ephesians 3:25-32 25: “Therefore, putting away falsehood, let every one speak the truth with his neighbor, for we are members one of another. Be angry but do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, and give no opportunity to the devil. Let the thief no longer steal, but rather let him labor, doing honest work with his hands, so
that he may be able to give to those in need. Let no evil talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for edifying, as fits the occasion, that it may impart grace to those who hear. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, with all malice, and be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.” 


God loves you, and He desires you live the way He lives, Think the way He thinks, remember, we were made in His image.... 
I'll say this last...(1 Pet 1:16 KJV)  Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.
