Man got his sense of right and wrong from the forbidden fruit he ate.And so as a fallen man he was caught between good and evil, right and wrong.That was never God’s desire for man.Man was created to be like God. He was never created to be a good man.Today the pursuit of most Christians is to be good men and women.Someone will ask “what’s wrong with being good?” I will tell you, it is to be caught between good and evil, right and wrong. The pursuit becomes goodliness instead of godliness.Godliness is first a nature that the man receives when he becomes Born Again in Christ. But the pursuit of godliness is to become like God in mind and character(lifestyle).Paul tells us “be you followers of God as dearly beloved children”.What does this mean? We are to be imitators of God…taking the very steps He took and takes in everything.Among the Ancient Greeks, the highest honor to bestow upon a leader is to imitate the leader. Thus the saying “imitation is the highest form of flattery”.To imitate God is godliness. To be driven of the Holy Spirit is godliness. To submit to and to do the word of God is godliness.-Paul Bamikole#FamilyEmbassy #church #christianity #godliness #christ #imitation #sundayservice (at Suleja)https://www.instagram.com/p/CKQ-0wcJUOL/?igshid=ena7adouqiuu -- source link
