The work of godliness is neither trivial nor optional. The obvious teaching of Scripture is that godliness is the natural outpouring of and response to the Holy Spirit’s work in the life of true believers. As I round out this series, the Apostle John makes a clear-as-day distinction: those who practice righteousness are children of God; and those who practice sin are children of the devil. The children of God are not given the right to sin; they are given the right to be righteous! May we hold our thoughts, words, and deeds captive to the Word of God.
