In pagan literature, godliness (Gk.
eusebeia, eulabeia and related terms) meant showing proper caution, fear or reverence towards the gods.
Such piety involved the offering of sacrifices and other cultic activities.
It also meant honouring the gods by respecting elders, masters, rulers, and all the orders of life thought to be under the protection of the gods.
When this terminology was used in the Bible, a different notion of fear or respect was intended.
The one true God, as creator and redeemer, requires an active obedience to his revealed will and a personal devotion that surpasses lip-service, mere trepidation, or bare admiration
Godliness Explained
In pagan literature, godliness (Gk.
eusebeia, eulabeia and related terms) meant showing proper caution, fear or reverence towards the gods.
Such piety involved the offering of sacrifices and other cultic activities.
It also meant honouring the gods by respecting elders, masters, rulers, and all the orders of life thought to be under the protection of the gods.
When this terminology was used in the Bible, a different notion of fear or respect was intended.
The one true God, as creator and redeemer, requires an active obedience to his revealed will and a personal devotion that surpasses lip-service, mere trepidation, or bare admiration (e.g.
Pr. 1:7; Is. 11:2; 33:6; Lk. 2:25; Acts 10:2; 22:12).
Ungodliness (Gk.
asebeia) brings the wrath of God, because it involves suppressing the truth about God, worshipping created things rather than the Creator, and pursuing unrighteous relationships and behaviour (Rom.
1:18–25; 1 Tim.
1:9–11).
It is a condition from which we can only be rescued by trusting ‘him who justifies the ungodly’ (Rom.
4:5; cf.
5:6; Tit.
2:11–14).
The word eusébeia literally means well–directed reverence, but does not imply an inward, inherent holiness.
It is actually an externalized piety.
Godliness does not equal righteousness
Righteousness is internal, Godliness is external
Righteousness is imputed by God through faith in Jesus Christ
Godliness is the demonstration of a good and worshipful attitude toward God.
Godliness is a life that is acceptable to Christ, indicating the proper attitude of the believer toward Christ who saved him.
