Passage

Old Testament, “…consecrate yourselves and be holy because I am holy” (Lev. 11:44 NIV).

New Testament, “You ought to live holy and godly lives… ” (II Peter 3:11 NIV).

I. Way beyond externalities

Psalm 51:16

“You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it; you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings.” - KJV

“Going through the motions doesn't please you, a flawless performance is nothing to you”. - The Message

Our own version of “sacrifices”

Going to church and giving our tithe

Church involvement

Adering with the dogmas and fundamentality of the faith

Rigidness of lifestyles

Doing what is “right” in the eyes of others

Who is more godly

Psalm 51:17

The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.51:17 - NIV

“I learned God-worship when my pride was shattered. Heart-shattered lives ready for love don't for a moment escape God's notice.” - The Message

II. Godliness is what we become

“Godliness is more than Christian character. It covers the totality of the Christian life and provides the foundation

upon which Christian character is built.” – The practice of godliness, Jerry bridges

Transformation

Who is winning?

5:16-26 we find Two Natures in conflict with each other;

“love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

gentleness and self-control.” – Galatians 5:22-23 (NIV).

Reflect

What is one area of my life that is in dire need to godliless?

What one step do in need to do to bring to me closer to becoming like Jesus?

Remember, that godliness is a Remember, that godliness is a life-long journey that should life-long journey that should

begin now.begin now.
