Add to “Patience Godliness”
2 Peter 1:6
What is godliness? How can one be godly? Peter tells us to add godliness in this passage. Godliness is being like God. It is more than observing a list of do’s and don’ts (although obedience is required). It is thinking His thoughts and responding as He would respond. When you are saved you become a new creature [2Cor.5:17]. You now have the mind of Christ [1Cor.2:16]. You should think and respond to things differently than you did before. [Romans 8:29] God’s purpose is to conform you to the image of his Son which is godly.
