LET CHRIST BE SEEN IN YOU
“For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come”.
1 Timothy 4:8 (KJV)
The matter of godliness is essential in our faith walk.
Godliness is the expression of divinity.
Godliness is the expression of divinity.
Godliness (eusebeia from “eú” means well and “sébomai” also means worship, venerate, pay homage); literally “well worship”.
This reflects an attitude of one’s life to live with a sense of God’s presence.
Godliness is a sacred reverence exhibited especially in actions.
The consecrating presence of God is conveyed into all life experiences by godliness. We see the picture of godliness through Christ; how that, He made all behold the inexplicable reality of the divine life.
“No one has seen God [His essence, His divine nature] at any time; the [One and] only begotten God [that is, the unique Son] who is in the intimate presence of the Father, He has explained Him [and interpreted and revealed the awesome wonder of the Father].” John 1:18 (Amplified)
How did Jesus demonstrate, interpret and reveal the awesome wonder of the Father?
See what Brother Luke said here in Acts 1 verse 1:
“To Theophilus, the lover of God. I write to you again, my dear friend, to give you further details about the life of our Lord Jesus and all the things that he did and taught.”
Through all the things that our Lord and Saviour Jesus did and taught, many beheld the glory of God.
Godliness is basically the demonstration of God’s nature, love, glory, joy and power to others. By this, we live a life pleasing to the Lord.
You speak like God and act as God. This is living as Christ in your sphere.
Do many see Christ in you?
Godliness is not about living out your own life in a “god-way”. It is rather living out the quality of God’s life dispensed into you.
It is the outflow of the increased life of God in you.
Beloved, until you decrease for Christ to increase in you; many will not see Christ.
Godliness is seen when you lay down your life for Christ only to spring forth and blossom in you.
You cannot fake true godliness. It is not a religious practice because it transcends religion. Neither is it an application of an outward list of rules and regulations.
True godliness is lived by the power of the transfused life of Christ.
Many ostensibly very “religious” people have an appearance of godliness, going through the motions of religion, but they don’t have the power to truly lay down their lives for Christ to blossom in them (See 2 Timothy 3:5).
By human standards, (just as the Pharisees and the Sadducees), there is a boxed-up interpretation of God and His expressions.
However, in Christ Jesus, we see that the revelation of God is beyond our human imagination. Thus, you can truly see God and express Him only by the power and revelation of Jesus Christ in you.
Until you behold and handle Christ Jesus, you cannot declare or express His life.
“We saw him with our very own eyes. We gazed upon him and heard him speak. Our hands actually touched him, the one who was from the beginning, the Living Expression of God. This Life-Giver was made visible and we have seen him. We testify to this truth: the eternal Life-Giver lived face-to-face with the Father and has now dawned upon us. So we proclaim to you what we have seen and heard about this Life-Giver so that we may share and enjoy this life together. For truly our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus, the Anointed One.” 1 John 1:1-3 (TPT).
Oh, Glory to God!
DIG DEEPER
(2 Peter 3:11; Genesis 5:24; 2 Peter 1:5-8; 2 Timothy 3:12; Psalm 1:1-3; Micah 6:8; Titus 2:11-14)
WE PRAY
We pray that by the empowering ability of God’s Spirit we shall live and walk as godly on this earth, bearing Godly fruits unto God’s glory.
